Meet Winter Melon: a perfume embodying the spirit of a youthful, innocent princess. Despite its playful demeanor, this fragrance represents the pinnacle of my collection, owing to its high-value composition.
Its debut is a delightful dance of candy-green melon—soft, pleasing, and unassumingly simple, almost masking the complexity beneath its surface. Despite my initial apprehension of its playful facade being overlooked, Winter Melon has won hearts, largely due to its enchanting evolution during the dry-down phase.
Indeed, the crowning glory of this fragrance is the magnificent orris butter, often hailed as the reigning queen of perfumery materials. This investment has indeed borne fruit, taking Winter Melon to new heights.
This perfume is a tribute to the orris purist, for those discerning enough to distinguish between the synthetic and the authentic natural grandeur of orris. Sourced at a cost ranging between 90,000 to 150,000 USD per kilogram, orris graces this perfume with an undeniable touch of opulence. You're in for a treat.
Winter Melon commences with top notes of Japanese Yubari Melon and green leaf alcohol. The heart carries the luxurious white orris butter from Florence, blended with violet leaf absolute and a violet flower accord. The base unfolds with organic cocoa absolute and Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood, the latter sourced from Eden Botanicals. It's also worth noting that the orris butter, boasting 15% irones, is sourced from the same esteemed supplier. This perfume is truly a celebration of nature's finest offerings.
