Side by side
Comparing the originals — price, breadth, listed-note depth.
Opens with a bright, slightly tart raspberry and peach that softens quickly into a powdery violet-rose heart — the fruit never reads as candy, staying close to the skin and feeling almost dewy. Iris pulls the heart cooler and more structured as it settles, while a clean musk and understated woody base keep the dry-down from going fully retro-powder. Projection is light to moderate; sillage is polite rather than trailing. What lingers is soft, skin-like, and faintly fruity — effortless rather than composed — A warm-weather everyday wear for someone who wants florals without weight or drama.
Ripe, almost bruised pear dominates the opening — juicy but not candied, with a faintly fermented edge that keeps it honest. The heart softens into white flowers without going powdery, anchored by ambrette's musky warmth that reads more skin than soap. Cedarwood and ambergris pull the dry-down toward a dry, slightly salty base that lingers close to the skin with modest sillage. Projection is gentle throughout; this wears intimate rather than loud — a warm-weather skin scent for anyone who wants fresh without cold.
