Pleasant, muted fruitchouli.
Opens bright, sweet and fruity. I get pear notes in the top amongst the mandarin and orange flower, which I like. It settles pretty quickly into a rather simple scent. A little bit of depth from the plum, orris and resin. The insipid praline doesn’t feel right here, it turns the musky, slightly ambery base a little sour.

A short and sweet review this time because there’s nothing here that really stands out for me. Avant describe this as a semi-oriental floral but it’s more very lowkey amber and zero spice in this. To my nose, it’s more of a muted fruitchouli.

There’s nothing wrong with it. It’s nice, pleasant, inoffensive, easy to wear, a day time office fragrance. But it’s so underwhelming, I likely will never spray this again. It’s a bit like a washed out, very gentle La Vie est Belle.

Tart Fruit
Update 4/2/25: I tried this again and I like it WAY more than I did before! It's a sour fruity fragrance that smelled like a tart plum, not unlike the fruity part of Moondance. I'm not crazy about white florals because they can be too heady for me but I definitely get more of the fruit notes than white florals. Nice for warmer weather!

2/19/25: Got this as a sample from Scentbird and even though it's not something I would've chosen (it was part of the surprise scent duo thing) I don't hate it. It's a close-to-the-skin baby powder scent that I don't find terribly screechy. It's not something I would reach for super often but I don't dislike it and it would be nice for something like an outdoor party or day on the beach.
