By the editors · 2 min readHeliotrope and tonka bean arrive together in a cloud of almond powder, the dominant impression being warm, floury, and gently sweet rather than confectionary. Mandarin floats briefly at the edges, offering a thin citrus shimmer before receding.
The heart stays soft and consistent — no sharp transitions. Vanilla deepens the tonka slowly, adding a creamy body that leans more baked-goods than resinous. Sandalwood provides a mild, milky wood base that keeps the sweetness from becoming cloying.
The overall character is intimate and enveloping: an almond-forward skin scent with understated warmth. It reads closer to comfort than seduction, suited to cooler days and relaxed settings.
