By the editors · 2 min readGardenia and heliotrope open creamy and almond-sweet, immediately coating the air with a lactonic white-floral haze that feels almost mil. Peony arrives quickly, its soft pink petals diluting the milky richness and adding a watery transparency that keeps the bouquet from turning cloying. Vanilla swells in the heart, pouring a custard-like sweetness under the flowers while cedar shaves thin wood veneers to give the composition polite structure. Patchouli lands last, earth-toned and only mildly camphorous, anchoring the confection without darkening it, so the dry-down stays pillowy and pale. Projection stays within arm’s length for six hours, making it an effortless daytime companion for cool spring weekends or office-safe cozying.
