By the editors · 2 min readAlmond and bergamot start sweet and slightly bitter at the edges, the almond carrying a marzipan tilt rather than a raw nut character. The bergamot fades quickly.
Jasmine and ylang-ylang push in fast, creamy and indolic, sliding the composition into a warm white-floral register. There's enough almond carrying through to keep a nutty thread present beneath the petals.
Honey and amber close the arc, the honey waxy and slightly animalic, the amber rounding everything into a gourmand-floral finish. The overall character is plush, sweet, and feminine in a candy-shop way — better at cooler temperatures where the honey doesn't go cloying. Projects firmly early on, settles closer over time.
