Accords
Notes Pyramid
Scent Journey
The first spray delivers a burst of juicy, ripe peach. It's sweet and slightly syrupy, immediately setting a fruity tone. The peach is not overly artificial but has a candied quality that feels playful and youthful. This top note lasts about 15-20 minutes before softening.
As the peach fades, the heart emerges: a lush jasmine absolute paired with honeysuckle. The jasmine is indolic but not overwhelmingly so—it's a clean, slightly sweet jasmine with a hint of greenness. The honeysuckle adds a honeyed, nectar-like sweetness that blends seamlessly with the jasmine. This phase is the most floral and lasts for about 2-3 hours, projecting moderately.
The base is a simple, clean musk. It's a soft, slightly powdery musk that clings close to the skin. The floral and fruity notes gradually recede, leaving a warm, skin-like scent. The drydown is subtle and intimate, lasting for several more hours as a skin scent.
