The Story
Why it exists.
The beginning
Twisted Hearts arrived in 2025 as a limited-edition extrait, the kind of release that asks a wearer to stay long enough to find what's underneath. On the surface, it wears its sweetness openly, a confection built around pineapple and cocoa, cream and champagne, cardamom and clove. But the warmth at the base, the tonka, the vanilla, the sandalwood pulling clean through the sugar, hints at something denser underneath. It's a gourmand that doesn't apologize, and it rewards patience with layers that only reveal themselves once the brighter notes begin to settle.
What makes Twisted Hearts worth a second look is how brazenly it ignores the brand's usual restraint. Champagne and pineapple and milk chocolate in the top notes. Cardamom, clove, and chocolate through the heart. Tonka, amber, sandalwood, vanilla as the floor. It reads almost like a pastry menu translated into fragrance, but the proportions matter. The spices are sharp enough to cut the sweetness. The woods are dry enough to keep the cocoa honest. Nothing here is hiding behind a clean structural story. The materials are doing all the talking.
The evolution
The opening is the loudest moment of the composition. Champagne lifts the pineapple, cocoa blooms underneath, and milk rounds it out so the sweetness reads creamy rather than sticky. There is a sparkle here, almost celebratory, the kind of fizz that catches light before the deeper notes take hold. As the hours pass, the brightness softens and the chocolate begins to thicken. It takes on a richer profile, somewhere between a warm ganache and a spiced truffle, as the cardamom introduces a warm, slightly bitter edge and the clove pulls a slow heat through the heart of the fragrance. In the base, tonka and vanilla do the quiet work. They soften everything that came before, blurring the edges of the spices and the cocoa into something warmer, more cohesive. Sandalwood gives the composition a clean, almost creamy spine, and amber holds the whole thing close to the skin.
Cultural impact
Twisted Hearts is a gourmand through and through, tagged citrus-edible on the brand's own retail page, limited to 1000 bottles. It's the kind of release that broadens a house's vocabulary, a confident, unapologetic sweetness that doesn't pretend to be something it's not. Pineapple and cocoa, champagne and cream, cardamom and clove, tonka and vanilla, sandalwood and amber, each one working in concert to create something plush and generous. The limited production run of 1000 bottles gives it the feel of a collector's piece, a fragrance with a story attached to its scarcity.
