Melancholic dreams
A hint of animalic in the air
In the glow of aldehydes
Wetlands
like covered in honeydew pearls

Hints at a Chypre but uses aldehydes instead of bergamot, with a very woody base, far from current fragrance trends: good!

Very classic! First bright floral, the lilac comes through clearly, then jasmine and ylang with a slightly waxy touch, creamy sandalwood base.

strong start with lots of herbs, but quickly transforms into a sweet floral garden, slightly powdery and creamy undertones
