Accords
Notes Pyramid
Scent Journey
The first 0-30 minutes burst with juicy blueberry. It is fresh, sweet, and slightly tart, reminiscent of ripe blueberries. The fruity note is bright and immediate, setting a playful tone. There may be a hint of almond in the background, but the blueberry is the star.
1-2 hours: jasmine emerges in the heart. The floral note softens the fruitiness and adds a touch of elegance. The sweetness persists, but the jasmine provides a clean, slightly powdery counterpoint. The overall effect is a sweet floral-fruity bouquet.
2-4 hours: the macaron and vanilla notes come forward. The scent becomes creamier and more gourmand, with a distinct almond-vanilla macaron character. The blueberry lingers subtly in the background. However, the drydown coincides with the fragrance's short longevity; after 2-4 hours, it fades to a faint skin scent.
