Wings

By the editors · 2 min readWings opens with an immediate blanket of white florals—gardenia and lily meeting a surprisingly fruity-apricot osmanthus. There's a powdery softness from the start, almost talc-like, that keeps the flowers from feeling sharp or green. This is deliberate early-nineties opulence: clean, diffusive, built for presence.

As it settles, jasmine and heliotrope deepen the white-floral core while adding an almond-vanilla haze. The base brings amber and sandalwood forward, creating a warm, musky cushion beneath the petals. Cedar adds a whisper of dryness but never shifts the fragrance away from its soft, enveloping character.

This is a fragrance for someone who wanted the white-floral abundance of that era without the sharpness of aldehydes or the bite of tuberose. It's round, comforting, unapologetically feminine in the style of its time—closer to a silk robe than a power suit.
