Wonderlust is a creamy, floral-almond fragrance with a soft, powdery character, centered around heliotrope, jasmine, and vanilla-sandalwood notes. It opens with a bright mix of bergamot and pink pepper, lending a subtle spicy freshness that quickly settles into a warm, milky floral heart. The mélange of almond milk, heliotrope, and sandalwood creates a comforting, gourmand-like elegance that feels both charmingly feminine and introspective. It is not overtly sweet or cloying, but leans into a gentle, elegant sweetness balanced by dry wood and powdery floral accords. Longevity is moderate to long on most skin types, lasting up to ten hours, particularly when sprayed on clothes. Sillage is moderate, with a personal, close-to-skin presence that is noticeable without being overwhelming. The fragrance evolves into a soft, nostalgic perfume that feels timeless—ideal for autumn and winter days, though some appreciate its warm comfort in cooler spring weather. It has a well-balanced composition that works well in professional or casual settings, making it a safe, wearable choice for those seeking a refined, elegant scent with a slightly sweet floral character. It shares a lineage with Dior Addict and Narciso Rodriguez Ambrée, offering a smoother, more accessible alternative with a trace of creamy vanilla and incense-like benzoin.
