By the editors · 2 min readA lush, fruit-forward indulgence that opens with raspberry and peach in full bloom, their juicy sweetness immediately tempered by bergamot's citric brightness. The heart is a dense garden of white florals—jasmine and ylang-ylang at the center—with violet and heliotrope adding powdery, almost confectionery textures. Lily of the valley provides a fleeting green counterpoint before the composition settles into its sweeter intentions.
The base is where restraint appears: orris and sandalwood create a soft, skin-like foundation, while vanilla and musk wrap everything in a warm, diffusive cloud. Cinnamon adds subtle spice without disrupting the overall plushness. This is unabashedly feminine in the classical sense—opulent, rounded, designed to leave a trail. It suits those who want their presence announced with generosity rather than whispered with austerity, and who find comfort in fragrance that feels like an embrace rather than an edge.
