A soft, juicy, and sweet gourmand fragrance with a fresh opening of bergamot, pear, orange blossom, and tangerine that quickly transitions into a warm, powdery heart of tonka bean, vanilla, and musk. The base carries a discreet but persistent warmth with patchouli, clove, amber, and ambroxan, giving the scent an elegant depth and an unexpected herbal-green dry-down of fern. It is light, not overpowering, and sits close to the skin with moderate projection. The scent evolves over time, starting with a glistening, semi-bright fruity sweetness that gives way to a comforting, slightly medicinal vanilla and green musk blend that lingers pleasantly. Longevity is moderate to long, with lasting power into evening hours. The overall effect is a refined, empowering scent that balances sweetness with unexpected dryness, resembling a modern, naturalist take on classic French feminine scents. It is both comforting and confident, making it suitable for wear during spring and autumn seasons.
