My first and favorite
This was my first purchase from Ms. Bianchi and is still my favorite of all her work.
On my skin this opens as peach — juicy, sweet, almost overripe — and honey — raw, unfiltered, wild, animalic honey. Soon white florals appear (I don't smell tuberose, specifically, just a general sense of white flowers). And shortly after some patchouli and heliotropin. The patchouli is soft (not dank and dark) and augments the gourmand aspects of this perfume — although I wouldn't call this perfume "a gourmand."
The peach and honey stay very present through the entire life of the perfume. After about an hour, the leather and oud begin to flesh things out and pull down some of the sweetness. This is another of those fragrances where I only smell the sandalwood the next morning, in the far dry down of the perfume.
Projection for the first several hours is at least 6 feet. This isn't a perfume for the timid or those who are worried about getting noticed. Projection slowly settles to a small, fluffy bubble of peach-patchouli-oakmoss-leather around the 4 hour mark.
I don't find this to be quite as much of a "light and dark" contrast as the marketing material makes it out to be, but there is an interplay between heavier and lighter notes that I enjoy.
I frequently get compliments for all ages and genders when I wear this. I'd say it's definitely a spring-to-early-summer scent. And not office safe, imo.
