By the editors · 2 min readVanilla opens thick and custardy, coating the skin with a buttery sweetness that feels almost edible. Iris slips in within minutes, its cool, carrot-root starchiness slicing the sugar so the accord reads as crème anglaise dusted with face powder rather than dessert alone. Caramel arrives late, not as goo but as crystallised toffee that adds a brittle, toasted edge to the vanilla, while musk sheers everything out, turning the confection into a translucent, skin-close veil. The fragrance stays linear: the iris softens the sugar but never exits, the musk thins the projection but never disappears, and the overall effect remains a pale, powdered vanilla fudge that hovers just beyond the wrist.
