By the editors · 2 min readGardenia lands creamy and slightly waxy, its white-petal heft already edged by praline’s toasted-sugar crackle. The pairing keeps the flower from going soapy: instead it reads like frosted icing dragged across living petals. Vanilla soon muscles forward, thick and almost boozy, folding the praline’s nutty sweetness into a continuous confection-like layer while musk sits quietly underneath, fluffing texture rather than adding animalic weight. On skin the accord stays linear, simply growing softer and more powdery as the gardenia recedes, leaving a gentle cloud of warm confection that smells like bakery air just after the tray is pulled. Projection hugs within arm’s length for four hours before settling into a skin-glow of pale vanilla sugar.
