White Heart V 7
by Map Of The Heart
White Heart V 7 is a brightly spiced floral with a pronounced plum and lavender core, creating a medicinal, slightly cough-syrup-like opening that quickly evolves into a warm, sweet plum heart wrapped in woody and balsamic notes. The cardamom adds a chokey, spicy dimension, while the lavender provides a herbal freshness that prevents the plum from becoming cloying. The fragrance remains notably plummy throughout, with a subtle smoky-dusty drydown that adds complexity. Though it leans heavily feminine, it can be worn confidently by men due to its aromatic and woody underpinning. The longevity is modest with moderate sillage, making it most suitable for evening wear in autumn.
