Neroli and orange open it with a brisk citrus floral, slightly bitter from the neroli, sweet from the orange — a classic Mediterranean intro. The heart pulls into orange blossom and rose, with a powdery overlay that softens the florals into something almost lipstick-like.
The drydown is vanilla and tonka — warm, smooth, gently gourmand, holding the floral powder as it fades. The arc is more graceful than the typical Zara oriental, and the longevity is decent for the line. Spring evenings, casual dinners, indoor cool weather.
