By the editors · 2 min readPeach and apricot open with a soft, fruity sweetness that is neither syrupy nor tart, merely suggestive of orchard fruits. The heart is intensely powdery and floral, dominated by heliotrope’s almond-like creaminess and iris’s rooty earthiness, with violet adding a candied floral touch and rose a subtle romantic hue. Sandalwood provides a smooth, creamy woody base that is gently warmed by amber, resulting in a dry-down that is softly textured and subtly sweet. The scent evolves linearly from fruity to powdery-woody, with low sillage but good persistence on skin. Best for close-quarters daytime wear in moderate climates.
