Eclipse Extrait Nova

The opening is bright and fruity, with ripe raspberry and cherry given a gentle lift by pink pepper. As those notes fade, powdery violet and cedarwood come through, with burnt sugar adding a rich, caramelised layer. The dry-down settles into cosy vanilla grounded by warm amber, sweet but balanced, and it keeps its sparkle on the skin.

Playful, modern and a little addictive, it is a fruity gourmand with a youthful feel. Rated at eight to ten hours, it suits autumn, winter and spring. Wear it every day, for casual outings and weekend plans, then again in the evening, when the burnt sugar and vanilla feel warmest.
