A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
Raspberry explodes with geranium's green stems still attached, all tart juice and bruised petals, whilst neroli flashes its bitter peel like a warning. It's shockingly sweet but held taut by those vegetal, slightly sour edges—fruit salad spiked with something leafy and suspect.
The white florals emerge properly now, tuberose and jasmine creating that thick, narcotic warmth that clings to skin, whilst orange blossom wavers between honey and hospital corridor. The raspberry refuses to disappear entirely, instead weaving through the flowers like a bright red thread, keeping everything just shy of propriety.
Sandalwood and patchouli settle into a soft, powdery-woody base that's more suggestion than statement, a blurred watercolour wash beneath the ghost of raspberry and wilted white flowers. What remains is sweet skin, slightly musky, with the faintest memory of fruit and indole—intimacy at arm's length.
MMMM... is a study in calculated hedonism, where raspberry's tart juice stains white florals and nobody minds the mess. That opening burst of raspberry isn't the polite, dessert-trolley variety—it's got geranium's green, slightly metallic edge slicing through the sweetness, whilst neroli adds a bitter-bright citrus backdrop that keeps things from collapsing into confectionery. The effect is lipstick-sweet but unsettling, like finding a love letter written in fruit syrup.
As the fragrance unfolds, the floral heart reveals its true intentions: tuberose and jasmine create that particular creamy-indolic thickness that borders on improper, whilst orange blossom hovers between honeyed and medicinal. The raspberry persists far longer than expected, threading through these white flowers like red silk through whipped cream. It's the olfactory equivalent of someone who looks innocent in pastels but has surprisingly filthy jokes up their sleeve.
