Faerie princess in a bottle

Sugared violets. Powdery iris, a tease of orange blossom, a subtly woody vanilla dry down. It retains that delicious, syrupy parma violet scent from first spritz to final lingering whiff.
Imagine a 1950s cheesecake pinup - sweet, coy, seductive in a coquettish way. Not too risqué, charmingly playful, confident, the kind of girl to infatuate men with a wink and a smile.
This is not old lady scent, it's vintage young woman scent. Far too sweet to be old ladyish, and even then I don't understand the bandwagon disdain of classic perfumes people under 25 have.

The other vibe this gives is: sugarplum faerie innocence. Pastel floral dresses, lace lingerie, ballet slippers, twirling barefoot in a cottage garden. This is nymphette/coquette in a bottle.
