Plum.
Dark, wine-like fruit with a soft, jammy sweetness.
Our read on the material, not a measurement.
What it smells like.
Plum is deep and slightly wine-like, jammy and sweet with a faint tartness at the skin. It is heavier and more grown-up than the red berries.
It gives an opening richness rather than lift, and it flatters rose and warm bases. It suits cool weather and it can feel heavy in heat.
Plum is an accord, and a shape-shifter: tuned bright it reads as orchard fruit, tuned dark it heads toward jam and wine. Perfumery has used it since the great animalic fruities of the 1970s and 80s, where dark plum gave florals their velvet. Ours stays on the fresh side of that history.
