Years later, as a young perfumer traveling in Southeast Asia, he rediscovered the same sweetness at night markets, heavier and juicier, amid flowers, smoke, and fruit stalls. The perfume brings these two memories together: \u003cstrong\u003ea luminous childhood fruit set against a background of oud and leather\u003c\/strong\u003e. That is the whole challenge: melon is one of the freshest and most aqueous notes in perfumery, and placing it in an extrait overdosed with oud is like making two completely opposing materials coexist.
