By the editors · 2 min readViolet dominates from the first spray, its cool, powdery leaf folding lemon’s bright acidity into a soft, almost candied pastel haze. Heliotrope steps in early, adding a marzipan warmth that blurs the citrus edges and lets the rose bloom low and velvety, never sharp. As the heart settles, honey drizzles over tonka, creating a translucent almond-sweet glaze that keeps the violet alive but rounded, while sandalwood supplies a clean, creamy wood that steers the confection away from sugar shock. White musk shepherds the dry-down, turning the earlier pastry illusion into skin-warmed linen traced with a faint iris-like dusting. Projection stays within arm’s length for most of the day, a charming pastel veil for breezy spring brunches or cool summer weddings.
