The smell of beige suede
If the color light beige had a smell, it would be this. It's calming, understated, but doesn't have to try hard to be sophisticated.
OPENING: an unsweetened, earthy apricot with what smells like - despite not being listed - a distinct carrot seed note
MIDDLE: a smooth, sueded leather; I've never smelled a more realistic suede than I have in this fragrance
DRY-DOWN (comes pretty quickly): a soft blend of sweet, powdery, osmanthus-mixed-with-sandalwood; mostly sandalwood, but the osmanthus is still there as a slightly-green-but-sweet creamy floral accord
To me, this is a "sexy but soft skin musk with an elevated twist" scent. Like you wear ultra comfortable but flattering designer clothes that don't have a label/logo on them - because you don't need to shout how high class you are, and you still prioritize your comfort.
The carrot seed note was a bit off-putting to me in the beginning, and I wasn't sure whether the suede would be up my alley if it continued longer - but the dry down was a beautiful blend that grew on me. It's not my typical profile, but I can see many loving this.
