Summary
Summary
Counterplay is a juicy tropical floral built around melon, guava and banana with sandalwood and patchouli giving the base more structure. The opening is bright and fruit-forward, with melon making it watery and fresh while guava and banana add sweeter tropical weight. Osmanthus, ylang-ylang and orange blossom turn the heart more floral without fully losing the fruitiness. Sandalwood softens the drydown as patchouli adds earthiness and pink pepper gives a light spicy lift.
