A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
Blood orange bursts forth with genuine citric clarity, immediately brightened by snappy cardamom and the slightly savoury spice of coriander. Within moments, the green brightness begins to fade, and you're left wondering if you've applied enough—the opening is enthusiastic but fleeting, lacking the projection to truly announce itself.
The florals settle into focus with jasmine contributing a soft, slightly creamy undertone whilst violet leaf introduces its peppery-green character, responding to the lingering cardamom with a faintly herbal, almost vegetable-like quality. Carrot seed deepens this earthy conversation, preventing the fragrance from becoming conventionally sweet, though the overall effect is increasingly understated and intimate.
Soft musk and sandalwood create a pale, creamy base layer that's pleasant but nearly imperceptible, with vanilla adding a whisper of warmth without any discernible sweetness. By hour four, Touch of Pink has become a skin scent—present only to those who lean in close, and questionable whether it lingers at all beyond that intimate radius.
Touch of Pink arrives as a peculiar contradiction—a fragrance caught between playful freshness and earnest florality, never quite committing to either. The blood orange opens with genuine vibrancy, its sharp citric snap immediately tempered by the warm spice of cardamom and coriander, which lend an almost savoury character that prevents this from descending into typical fruity-floral territory. This restraint is admirable, if ultimately undermining.
What makes Touch of Pink intriguing is the violet leaf's green, slightly peppery whisper in the heart, which responds to that cardamom with a faint herbal conversation—there's something vaguely botanical and slightly aloof here, as if the fragrance is hesitant about its own sweetness. The carrot seed adds an unexpected earthy undertone, grounding what could have been an airily disposable composition.
