Inner War – ŌURTE – cotton candy & rose

Top notes: Cotton candy, coconut, bergamot, lemon

Heart note: Labdanum, rose, almond

Base note: Ambroxan, vanilla, patchouli, musk

Inner War is an extrait de parfum that plays on the contrast between the innocently sweet and the darkly sensual. First you get cotton candy and coconut with citrus that makes the opening light, almost airy, but it doesn't stop there. After a while, the scent gravitates towards the resinous and rosy: labdanum provides warmth and depth, the rose becomes more supporting than romantic, and the almond provides a soft, powdery fullness that makes the whole feel like a more mature gourmand.

As it settles, that slow, warm base: ambroxan and vanilla joins with patchouli and musk. It becomes a soft, warm presence that holds the scent together and makes it feel distinct even hours later.

Two ways to wear it: as an evening scent when you want something that draws people closer without screaming, or during the day when you want a simple outfit to have some edge and glow.

Fragrance family: Oriental/amber, gourmand, powdery
