Affinessence
Combava-Cedrat
$450
OUR VERDICT
Eminently tonic-like, cedrat (bitter lemon) is more pith than flesh, thus lending sophisticated dryness to perfume compositions, imparting mellow gloss rather than sparkle.
Sharp and distinctive, albeit a single point within a total composition, the cedrat note begs for dimension and complexification.
Affinessence answers this call, combining this singular tangy dryness with combava fruit - a rare green citrus often employed in culinary contexts, lending a fresh and effusive hum of astringency. To emphasise this, the furry freshness of mint intersects with the peppery snap of lime and the cooling hue of cardamom - both imparting an echo of resin and pine.
Overall, these notes shade the composition with the tones and tints it so desires - becoming a stimulating and multicoloured trail of scent.
Top Notes: Cedrat, Combava
Heart Notes: Mint, Lime
Base Notes: Cold Woods, Cardamom
