The heart turns into a quiet white-floral bouquet, with jasmine and orange blossom carrying the bulk and rose-violet adding a powdery softness underneath. The transition is gradual, and the florals never push very hard, staying clean and slightly waxy.
The drydown is where the composition settles in: heliotrope brings an almond-cherry sweetness over creamy benzoin and vanilla, with sandalwood and white musk providing a smooth, slightly skin-like warmth. The trail reads as soft, powdery, and faintly almond-sweet, feminine in tilt without being saccharine. Sillage is moderate and longevity strong enough for a long evening.
