Paradise Lost (Clarimonde Perfume Project)

Violet and immortelle open with a honeyed brightness, almost effervescent, before champaca's creamy warmth softens into chamomile's herbal quiet. The heart shifts unexpectedly—surf wax brings a waxy, ozonic minerality that grounds the florals, while orris and lotus add a powdery, almost skin-like tenderness. Myrrh and amber anchor the base with resinous depth, the animal notes lending an intimate, slightly animalic warmth that catches between powder and musk, until only amber and a whisper of myrrh linger like candlewax on fabric.
