Perfect Veil is primarily a powdery white musk scent with a hint of warmth and sweetness from the vanilla. The vanilla isn’t strong and I don’t really notice the lemon at all. There is something a little vintage about it, not like a powdery floral from your grandmother’s youth, but more like I can imagine my mom wearing this in the 90s, enveloping me in a cloud of sweet musk when she gives me a hug. It feels clean, comforting, and nostalgic and makes for a perfect bedtime scent.
