By the editors · 2 min readThe opening is a generous orchard-and-florals blend — pear and apricot providing fruity sweetness, violet and iris introducing powder and floralcy, galbanum adding a sharp green note that prevents the fruit from dominating. Seven top notes is unusual; collectively they create a nuanced, multi-textured opening rather than a single leading note pushing through.
The heart is equally layered: gardenia and peony add white-floral fullness, rose and violet anchor the whole in classical feminine territory, iris threading through with powdery depth. The transition from top to heart is seamless, each note finding its place in a large, friendly accord.
Praline and amber sweeten the base, leather adding a quiet animalic grounding beneath sandalwood and cedar. More ambitious than Oriflame's catalog positioning typically suggests — a genuinely opulent composition from an unlikely source.
