Unforgettable is a rich, vanillic fragrance with strong gourmand and oriental traits, emphasizing warm vanilla, sweetened tonka bean, and a hint of dusty woody notes. The opening features a pronounced, slightly tart gранат (pomegranate) and plum, which quickly transitions into a core of honeyed vanilla, caramelized sugar, and baked bean nuances. The scent evolves with a plush, cake-like quality that some describe as resembling warm buns or sugary custard, enhanced by faint notes of jasmine, Turkish rose, and cashmere wood. While it possesses a significant sillage, it is most pronounced in colder seasons and in the evening. The versatility is in question—though many appreciate its unapologetically cozy character, others find it overly sweet, heavy, or even cloying on sensitive skin. It’s best suited for those who enjoy a deep, dessert-like aroma that feels personal and intimate.
