After a lot of hesitation, I finally decided to go for this blind buy. Guys, it’s truly delightful.
It really gives me the feeling of an elegant sweetness with a rétro soul. The opening has a vintage vibe, powdery and softly floral: delicate white flowers (orange blossom / neroli-style), with a powdery touch that immediately brings out that old-school charm. The sweetness is there, but kept in check — more cosmetic than sugary.
Then a soft, enveloping sweetness comes through, more creamy than gourmand, which smooths out the classic side and makes it feel contemporary.
It has a vintage, slightly nostalgic and sweet soul, and I can confirm there’s absolutely no civet or animalic nuances: the drydown stays clean, warm, and well-composed. It’s a fragrance that feels like it’s wearing velvet and light, not excess.
It really is the 18th century reimagined through modern eyes.
