By the editors · 2 min readThe opening feels sun-warmed and slightly tart, with black currant lending a jammy edge to the powdery softness of freesia. This quickly gives way to a cushion of white florals—jasmine and orange blossom—that lean sweet rather than sharp, their indolic character smoothed by praline's caramelized richness. The rose adds a dusting of petal-soft texture without dominating.
As it settles, sandalwood takes center stage, creamy and faintly spiced, wrapped in a haze of vanilla and musk that keeps everything close to the skin. The oakmoss provides just enough green structure to prevent the composition from turning entirely gourmand, though the praline maintains a persistent sweetness throughout. Amberwood adds warmth without heaviness.
This is sandalwood dressed for celebration—polished, approachable, and designed to wear easily. It evokes the soft luxury of good fabric rather than drama, suited to someone who wants presence without projection, sweetness tempered by wood.
