By the editors · 2 min readThe opening is a rush of syrupy pineapple and apple, more fruit cocktail than orchard, cut with sharp citrus that briefly checks the sweetness. Within minutes the tropical brightness softens into a creamy apricot heart, surprisingly comforting, with cinnamon and jasmine adding warmth without much floral definition. The whole construction feels rounded and soft-focused, deliberate in its lack of edges.
As it settles, the base arrives thick with tonka and vanilla, a sweet sandalwood haze held together by amber and a whisper of patchouli. The drydown is plush, almost dessert-like, but never quite cloying—vetiver and musk provide just enough structure to keep it wearable. This is unapologetically sweet, a late-'90s gourmand with a fuzzy, golden glow.
It suits those drawn to nostalgic warmth over modern restraint, more Sun King indulgence than Versailles formality.
