MSK 004/NTL Zara

The fragrance smells somehow thick at the beginning. As if one had spread a lotion or pudding on the skin. The iris hits right away. A powdery, vanilla, heavy cream iris. And the creamy musk note is also immediately noticeable. After a few minutes, this impression flattens out a bit and a warm rice pudding settles over the iris. I smell vanilla sugar, pudding, dessert here...BUT: actually, I have my problems with gourmands. They are often too sweet for me. Thankfully, that's not the case here. The rice pudding did get a few sprinkles of vanilla sugar, but it wasn't drowned in syrup. To me, something here also smells quite pleasantly of rum. So a pleasantly sweet vanilla dessert with a kick that adds some woody notes at the very end. Sillage gets skinnier by the hour. Longevity is 4 to 6 hours on my skin, much longer on clothes. A gourmand that doesn't slay me and that just lulls me wonderfully and knows how to protect me from the world outside. Thank you Nathalie.
