By the editors · 2 min readGardenia, plum, and anise open in an unusual cluster — gardenia's creamy white-floral richness, plum's juicy sweetness, anise's distinctive licorice character. The opening is busy and slightly unexpected.
Sandalwood, jasmine, and lily of the valley compose the heart. Sandalwood arrives unusually early in the middle phase, lending its creamy woody character alongside the jasmine. Lily of the valley adds delicate freshness against the heavier florals.
Tonka bean, benzoin, amber, vanilla, patchouli, and musk form a dense base. The drydown is warm and softly balsamic, with vanilla and tonka providing gourmand sweetness against patchouli's earthiness. Overall a creamy floral-oriental with anise and vanilla complications. Cooler weather and casual evening wear suit the composition's softness; longevity is solid.
