Accords
Notes Pyramid
Scent Journey
The first spray is bright and juicy. Raspberry and blackberry arrive together, sweet and slightly syrupy, with bergamot adding a sparkling citrus lift. The fruit reads as candied rather than fresh-picked, like berry jam or fruit-flavored candy rather than a bowl of actual berries. The bergamot keeps the opening from tipping into cloying territory, but this is a sweet fragrance from the first second. This phase lasts roughly 15 to 30 minutes.
As the fruit settles, the floral heart emerges. Daisy and jasmine are both soft and gentle here, neither indolic nor sharp. The daisy accord gives the composition a clean, airy quality, while the jasmine adds a faintly creamy sweetness. The berry notes do not disappear; they linger underneath, so the overall effect is a sugared flower. This is the most balanced phase of the wear, roughly one to two hours in, and for many wearers the most enjoyable.
The base is where the fragrance becomes quiet. Sugar, white iris, musk, and soft woodsy notes combine into a creamy, powdery finish. The iris adds a cool, slightly cosmetic texture, and it is the note responsible for the powdery character that shows up in the accord profile. Musk keeps everything close to the skin, and the woodsy notes provide a faint, dry backbone. After the four-hour mark the scent is largely a skin scent: pleasant, soft, and personal rather than projecting.
Performance Dashboard
Roughly 4-6 hours on skin. On clothing it lasts noticeably longer. This is a fragrance you may want to reapply during a long day.
Moderate, roughly arm's length at its peak, then close to the skin.
Moderate. It leaves a soft trail but does not fill a room.
When to Wear

- Close-to-skin projection after the opening

Price & Value
“Good value if you want portability or a trial size. If you already know you love the scent, a full-size bottle offers better value per ml.”
Reformulation History
No significant batch variations reported. As with most mass-market designer fragrances, minor differences between production runs are possible, but there is no consistent pattern of reformulation or quality drift documented by the fragrance community.
