Notes Pyramid
Scent Journey
A burst of creamy, slightly sweet coconut that immediately evokes suntan lotion and tropical beaches. It’s bright and inviting, with no harsh edges.
The tiare flower emerges, adding a soft, white floral creaminess that blends seamlessly with the coconut. The heart is lush and feminine, with a hint of powderiness from the floral notes.
Vanilla and amber take center stage, creating a warm, cozy base. Sandalwood adds a subtle woody backbone, preventing the sweetness from becoming cloying. The drydown is smooth, lasting several hours.
