Sweet Xplosion Extrait de Parfum

Star anise- an almost mystical spice, with an intense blend of sweet and savory flavor and a wide variety of medicinal, mystical and culinary uses dating back millenia. It's a potent ingredient that demands a perfumer with both a gastronomic touch and a good measure of spiritual attunement alike- how fortunate for us that Lorenzo Pazzaglia more than checks those boxes. And sure enough, Sweet Xplosion delivers- a wondrously spicy and joyful scent that melds the unique complexity of star anise with a vivid melange of aromatics, florals, and gourmand notes to create an elegantly rounded delight. Bright, sunshine-drenched citrus notes and honey-sweetened coconut milk give a burst of cheerful energy to a vibrant opening, leading into a spicy floral heart that accentuates the gorgeous depth of the star anise, which evokes hints of rich myrrh and palo santo along more aromatic tones of fennel and liquorice, all with a gently natural sweetness that might surpise anyone expecting a fragrance with this name to be a pure sugar bomb. Instead, it's all about the contrasts- cold and warm, spicy and sweet, energetically fresh and richly intoxicating. A new standard for spice-based gourmands from a master perfumer reaching new levels, Sweet Xplosion is so much more than a cure for your sweet tooth- it's one of the most exciting anise-based scents we've ever experienced.
