White Blood • L'Entropiste

The tiare and pink lotus make this feel almost creamy, but that black pepper keeps it sharp enough to stay interesting. I sprayed it this morning and the musk and ambergris are still lingering on my skin twelve hours later, which is more than I expected from a soft floral.

The star fruit gives it such a weird, juicy brightness up top—totally unexpected under that soft tiara. It dries down to a clean, salty musk that stays close to the skin for a good six hours, which feels right for something this delicate.

The black pepper cuts through the florals in a way I didn’t expect, making it feel sharp yet soft at the same time. Lasts most of the day on my skin, and the ambergris base keeps it from turning cloying in the heat.
