Afternoon in the Teahouse
The opening smells like walking into a teahouse: creamy Earl Grey with a hint of cinnamon spiced rose and berries, accompanied by a sweet vanilla incense in the background that stops just short of cloying.
After about 30 minutes this fades to a rosewater shortbread, which eventually gives way to a soft amber base.
Overall it’s quite pretty but a little too sweetly gourmand for my tastes, and somewhat short lived (around 4 hours on my skin). Projection is on the lower end of moderate, and the sweet notes make it feminine coded.
