By the editors · 2 min readProposal opens on black currant and bergamot — the currant dark and slightly sharp, the bergamot lifting it toward brightness. Heliotrope arrives in the heart with an almond-like warmth, soft and powdery without becoming heavy.
The base is dense with iris, tonka bean, vanilla, and patchouli — a combination that produces a sweet, powdery, slightly earthy depth. Iris brings a cool, root-like quality that keeps the vanilla from reading as purely dessert-like. White musk softens the overall structure.
The result is a sweet, feminine powder with fruity opening and a warm, skin-like drydown. It projects moderately and suits cooler weather occasions where something intimate and rounded is appropriate.
