SQ Mélange
An opulent composition built around the extraordinary depth of SQ Burmese Oud and the sweetness of Merauke oud. Rare saffron, jasmine, amber absolute, Mysore sandalwood, Tonkin musk infusions, Chinese musk, and sacred resins create a rich, evolving heart, while honey, guava, lavender, geranium, betelnut, hyacinth, rum ether, and styrax add unexpected facets of warmth, fruit, florals, and spice.
A fragrance of remarkable complexity, where every layer reveals another story.

Beautiful presentation in a 10ml bottle, with an excellent atomiser.
4 sprays: one on each arm, two on the chest.
Opening: beautifully composed. On first spray, you’re met with a revitalising burst of fresh spring fruits and flowers; a full fruit bowl of bananas, strawberries, grapes and sliced green apples, dusted with icing sugar, while freshly placed frankincense burns nearby, filling the air with a crystalline citrus smoke.
The florals are vivid and alive; a fistful of geraniums, daffodils and bluebells, crushed in your hand and opened beneath your nose. Up close you get deep aged saffron and the Burmese and Papua Ouds popping through giving the whole fragrance backbone
Within a minute or two on the skin, a beautiful aroma of honey drizzled over sweet, ripe white melon emerges, with a faint sprinkle of allspice and cinnamon.
30 mins in: The opening notes are still very much present, but the fragrance has moved into fresh peach territory, carrying a slight powdery freshness. The bright florals and juicy fruits remain the heart of the experience.
One hour in: The sillage has formed a lovely bubble and the fragrance fills my little office space. Everything has now melded together beautifully; opulent and also elegant, perfectly balanced / blended. the scent is warm and self indulgent.
The juicy fruits begin to evolve into candied fruits and cornershop sweets, something I don’t eat but did when I was a child; evoking memories of Fruit Pastilles and Fruittella, but because of the smoothness of the blend I’d say it would be more comparable to a more luxury equivalent you would find in fortnum and masons sweet counters. Not overly sugary and made with natural ingredients (much like this perfume).
2–4 hours in: Passion fruit starts to take the centre, eloped in white musk, jasmine and the soft scent of ladies’ facial powder, all enclosed within a delicately sweet, violet-coloured stick of bubblegum.
It remains this way for the rest of the journey, gradually tapering off and becoming more powdery with the peach note sitting on top.
It is simply a beautiful perfume.
