Pastel peaches & melted-cream dreams
This opens with a strong hit of something indolic. Creamy-yellow florals? Buttery ylang ylang? None listed, yet they feel so present to me. It must be the sandalwood paired with a Tahitian vanilla - making for a rich, delicately-heady vanilla cream.
Then, realistic peach joins in. The apricot here creates the feeling of velvety peach skin (rather than anything focused on the apricot fruit itself) - and the peach is ultra ripe, soaked in the sweet thickness of its own juices.
On paper, it's liquid-y peaches & cream - like homemade peach ice cream starting to drip down the cone, or a spilled puddle of peach milkshake. You'll want to lick this! On my skin, a touch of animalic warmth blooms under the melted gourmand goodness - making it feel even more narcotic.
The notes are so well-done, that it might actually be the best gourmand-sweet peach I've tried (separate from other peach profiles like boozy-peach, fresh peach, etc.).
Feels like a ruffled pastel sundress, blushing cheeks, and the color Pantone Peach Fuzz 13-1023 (https://www.pantone.com/color-of-the-year/2024). Fairly simple/linear experience, soft projection, moderate longevity - but oh so beautiful.
*Update on longevity/projection:
- 1-2 hour mark: strongest (in strength and projection)
- 3 hour mark: moderate strength (quiet projection but still very present)
- 4-6 hour mark: softens significantly
Still absolutely worth it!
