New Notes Cocktail Maracuja Extrait

Description

Cocktail Maracuja is a spiced passion-fruit drink turned into perfume. Launched by the Milan brand New Notes in 2023, it opens on passion fruit with pear, lemon, strawberry and blackcurrant. The heart adds ginger, cardamom, cinnamon and pink pepper around jasmine and rose, and the base settles into white musk, amber, patchouli, lactones, cedar and vanilla. Reviewers like the way the ginger adds a slight sharpness that keeps the tropical fruit from turning too sweet or too girly.

Scent Character

Translation: sweet tropical fruit first, with a real spice layer from the ginger, cardamom and pink pepper. Cedar, amber and a creamy musk make up the base.
