I would marry with this scent

Finally, a white fragrance that doesn't scream, I am floral, I think that's great. It is bright, noble, cozy, delicate, milky-creamy, lightly powdery, and overall very comforting. I completely agree with "Floh," it's less of a perfume and more of a scent that merges with the skin and gives it a wonderful personal aroma, one might say. After a short, max 10-minute, somewhat medicinal opening of iris, the fragrance becomes quite subtle, though I wouldn't say skinny. For a brief moment, I almost think I smell some lavender, even though it's not listed in the notes. But that quickly fades away, and it turns into a lightly vanillic iris (which doesn't push itself to the forefront) with what I perceive not as coconut, but rather a very subtle almond milk note, spiced with a tiny pinch of cardamom. I don't really smell the pear, nor the sandalwood; so for me, it's neither woody nor fruity. They both resonate more like a tiny pinch of salt in a cake, to enhance the flavors.
A scent, either for cuddling or for very elegant occasions, such as a wedding. For that, one would be dressed quite elegantly.

Almond milk note - very well captured. I couldn't quite figure out this "milky" aspect. Great comment from you.
