By the editors · 2 min readSonnet opens on a soft, gourmand-leaning gesture — almond folded into bergamot, the citrus thinned by a marzipan sweetness that takes hold within minutes. There's a familiar comfort in the first impression, sweet but not childish.
The middle pivots to white florals. Tuberose carries a creamy heaviness; orange blossom lifts it into something brighter, sunnier. Together they sit on top of the almond like icing on a soft cake — feminine, a little nostalgic, distinctly Middle-Eastern in their generosity.
The drydown is plush and warm. Sandalwood gives the composition a milky weight, vanilla doubles the sweetness, and amber spreads a golden glow underneath everything. The fragrance projects moderately for the first hour, then narrows to a close, edible skin scent — the kind of base that lingers on a sweater the next morning.
