Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Created by Angela St.John in 2019, this Eau de Parfum opens with molasses, pineapple, coconut, rum, sugar cane and oak, a sweet, boozy and tropical start. The heart is floral and watery, with ylang-ylang, frangipani, sea water and tiare flower. The base is vetiver, which gives a dry, earthy finish. It is a gourmand tropical scent that moves from a rum-soaked opening to a salty floral heart.
