The heart narrows to a single floral statement: rose, soft and sugar-glazed rather than dewy or thorned. With only one heart note carrying the middle, the development is short; the rose serves more as a transitional sweetness than a true centerpiece.
The base does the heavy lifting. Honey thickens the rose into a sticky, almost preserved-fruit warmth, sandalwood gives it a creamy floor, and patchouli adds a damp earthiness that keeps the sweetness from going synthetic. It's playful and obvious in the way the name suggests — close-wearing, candy-leaning, more cute than serious.
