Not Expected, Tolerable.
This isn’t my preferred perfume profile, but I wanted something sweet and cozy in my collection for the colder months ahead.

That said, the actual scent turned out quite different from what I expected. I was imagining something like sweet marshmallow, reminiscent of a raspberry vanilla bean frappuccino from Starbucks (back when the syrup still had red 40 dye).

But this is not that. Instead, it leans more toward a fruity, powdery scent. The candied almond and orange blossom form the heart of the fragrance, while the marshmallow note contributes more of a soft, powdery texture rather than a creamy, fluffy sweetness. As expected, it eventually dries down to that signature JHAG ambroxan musk.

Surprisingly though, I’ve grown to like it. At first, I wasn’t convinced, but after spraying it before bed, it felt like being wrapped in a soft, fluffy robe. A full bottle would be too much for me, but I’m happy to keep a travel size around for those moments when I’m in the mood for something a bit more designer-esque.

sweet, soft and cuddly—more gentle floral than almonds. lingers long enough I considered charging rent

Sweet companion!
A noticeable but definitely not too sweet mix of pink and white sweets.
Wonderful sillage. I love the smell :)

Almost fruity O-flower floats on a fizzy sugar-flake cloud, where the sweetness doesn’t become unpleasantly stuffy: cozy, powdery.

great! Fluffy, lightly sweet, cotton candy and marshmallows subtly but present. A fine light scent. Nothing overpowering.

Fairy-like powderiness without being too sweet. Love the dragee note. Enveloping, enchanting, beautiful!

a hint of pink marshmallow like LDBS and bubblegum vibes
I don't find the modern synthetic notes bothersome here at all
I like it ;-)

I immediately thought of my beloved La Nuit Trésor Musc Diamant - I sprayed both and there's a lot of similarity.

Such an amazing marshmallow scent! Fluffy, soft, powdery, creamy. The Juliettes last surprisingly well on me! Successful blind buy :)

Dreamy dragée note on powdery musk-sugar fluff. Not as sweet as you’d think. Girly yet mature. Somehow also sexy!
