How the Ella K picks open and dry down
Musc K (EDP, 2023) is cool sea air with peppery florals and soft musky powder, opening on sea daffodil, white pepper and pink pepper and drying to white musk, Ambrofix and Haitian vetiver.
Pluie sur Ha Long (2018) smells like cool watery pear nectar with floral freshness, built on Nashi pear, pink pepper and rhubarb over musk, Akigalawood and Ambrofix.
Spiced rose incense warmed by vanilla is Lettre de Pushkar (EDP, 2018), with saffron, cinnamon and nutmeg on top and vanilla, patchouli, musk and vetiver beneath.
