By the editors · 2 min readAlmond opens dry and slightly bitter, cutting the sweetness that follows. Within minutes the heart blooms into a creamy strawberry accord where the red berry is flanked by soft iris and rose; the floral trio keeps the fruit from reading as candy, while jasmine adds a faint green lift. Freesia sharpens the edges, preventing the cream from turning cloying. As the top fades, tonka bean folds the strawberry into a velvety custard, vanilla deepens the lactonic curve, and a salt-tinged ambergris base keeps the confection airy rather than syrupy. Projection stays within arm’s length for six hours, making it office-friendly yet still playful. Best worn in mild spring or early fall days when you want edible without juvenile.
