Dear Polly is a beautiful feel-good fragrance.. gentle, clear, and very accessible. Unfortunately, for me, it's a bit too light, too fleeting in expression, but emotionally still very harmonious.
It reminds me of having crystallized exactly the best parts of Gris Charnel: the soft tea note, the subtle spice, this calm, intimate warmth.. just without its depth, complexity, and weight. Everything here feels more transparent, airy, almost like a thought rather than a presence.
Dear Polly wears effortlessly, embracing and friendly. A scent for closeness, for quiet moments, for days when you don't have to assert anything. It is clean, soft, and pleasant, without ever demanding or being jarring.
For me, it remains more of a companionable feel-good scent than a statement… beautifully composed, but with a lightness that personally gives me a bit too little grounding. Still: very fine, very harmonious, and emotionally immediately understandable.
