Pros & Cons
- ✅ Based on the note pyramid, I thought this would be my ideal fragrance... it's a lovely, fairly timeless scent: Light as a cloud, crisp and aldehylic, but still laying on a base of wispy pillow-soft-vanilla, with some 'generic clean notes' thrown in.
- ✅ I blind bought this for some crazy reason, and let me say I am so glad I did. This is such a beautiful fragrance. Feathery light, yet warm and sweet, It just is so beautiful.
- ✅ It is a very beautiful, contemporary classic fragrance: white pepper, white tea, white musk, iris, peony, vanilla, neroli, a distant incense, and intoxicating aldehydes, blanketed by rich cashmeran.
- ❌ The sore spot here is how unrealistic the full bottle price is in relation to how WEAK and short-lived this is... and for that price I'd tend to opt for something a little bit less 'done, and safe'.
- ❌ I wanted fresh powdery iris, but mostly smelled loads of black pepper with some tea. Tea only works for me in a cup. Very unisex.
