The company says:

Edge Effects in ecology are changes in population species that occur when two or more habitat areas border each other. At the edge of these overlapping ecosystems, species from both habitats are found traveling and interacting. Over time, diverse species that live in neither of the original habitats are discovered to have adapted to the boundary edge and created new species growth.

Edge effects, the perfume, is a metaphor for the concept in nature, mashing two different perfume categories—fougere and chypre—toward each other to create an area of biodiversity (fruits, flowers and spices) in between.

This starts off so juicy.

Edge Effects brings all elements to the saturation point here: mandarin and peach, almost palpable, ushering in wet florals, aromatic herbs and spices. It's so quenching, it makes my mouth water, I am driven to want to taste it. It also reminds me of the equivalent of an olfactory kaleidoscope—colorful and mesmerizing. The usage of damascone(s) here is worth noting, as these materials themselves are complex, with many facets that tie together the fruity, the spicy, the floral, and the aromatic.

I am somehow reminded of the work of Jean-Francois Laporte and the earlier Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier releases, where Laporte dared to bridge typically disparate accords to create interest, even suspense—he wasn't afraid to let in just a little more sour, acrid, or sharp, to the edges. St. Clair similarly has no fear here, and it pays off—it's scintillating.
