Scent Journey

1
Opening 0-30 min

The first 0-30 minutes are a burst of juicy tangerine and guava, with a hint of pink grapefruit adding a tart edge. It's very sweet and fruity, almost like a tropical fruit punch.

2
Heart 1-2 hrs

After about an hour, the fruitiness softens as floral notes of jasmine and lily of the valley emerge, blending with the peach to create a more rounded, slightly creamy fruity-floral heart.

3
Drydown 4+ hrs

In the drydown (3+ hours), the fragrance becomes a soft, warm skin scent dominated by vanilla and musk, with a faint whisper of the earlier fruits. It's cozy and intimate.
