Amande Persane Eau Fraiche Parfumee is a softly powdery, almond-based gourmand fragrance with a subtle citrus lift and delicate warmth. It opens with a bright, sharp freshness from bergamot and mandarin, which quickly settles into a comforting, slightly bitter-sweet almond base. The nose is dominated by almond and iris, creating a soft, baby-wipes-type powderness that feels wholesome and clean—like a skin-scented marzipan. The vanillin tonka adds a gentle sweetness without overwhelming the senses. The perfume develops in layers: initially slightly bright and citrusy, it settles into a deep, edible almond and powder-rich heart that lasts well into the mid-phase before fading. The scent remains close to the skin and is subtle throughout, making it ideal for quiet, intimate moments. It has a weightless, airy quality, which makes it feel breezy and refreshing—especially suitable for spring and autumn. Though longevity is brief, the fragrance is satisfying and satisfyingly wearable, with a quietly charming and unobtrusive presence.
