Opening and evolution

The first seconds are immediate and bright. You get a burst of freshness mixed with incredible gourmand hazelnut and creaminess. Release the tiger. The freshness comes from a tiger balm accord, built around mint and mentholated facets that add a camphor like clarity and a cooling sensation.

As it settles, lily of the valley keeps the structure airy and green, while almond and caramel smooth the edges and build a soft edible warmth. The hazelnut reads round and slightly roasted, giving the gourmand heart more depth than a simple sugar sweetness.

In the drydown, the sweetness becomes quieter and more skin like. Soft woods provide structure and oakmoss adds a faint green earthy shadow that balances the caramel and keeps the finish clean and wearable.

The story

This perfume exists to combine two pleasures that rarely sit together well: mentholated freshness and creamy gourmand comfort. The tiger balm accord is the engine. It gives instant lift, a crisp cooling effect, and a slightly camphor like bite that reads clean rather than sweet. It's like all my perfumes completely unique and artistic yet totally wearable.

The heart is built to melt that brightness into something addictive. Hazelnut adds a roasted nut depth, almond brings smooth body, and caramel binds them into a soft warm ribbon that sits close to the skin.

Woods and oakmoss keep the sweetness in check and give the perfume a grounded finish. It starts with an icy spark, then settles into a creamy nutty comfort that still feels fresh.
