Scent Journey
The first 0-30 minutes are bright and fruity, with red berries and pear taking the lead. Bergamot adds a subtle citrus sparkle, keeping the sweetness from becoming cloying. It's a lively, almost candy-like introduction.
After 1-2 hours, the white floral heart emerges. Frangipani brings a creamy, tropical sweetness, while honeysuckle adds a honeyed nuance. Jasmine sambac contributes a slightly indolic, heady quality that grounds the composition. The fruitiness recedes but doesn't disappear entirely.
At the 4+ hour mark, the base takes over. Marshmallow and whipped cream create a soft, lactonic sweetness, while black currant adds a dark, jammy undertone. Cashmere wood, amber, and musk provide a powdery, cozy finish that sits close to the skin.
