Side by side
Comparing the originals — price, breadth, listed-note depth.
A floral woody gourmand fragrance built around jasmine, tea, leaves, white, musk. Scent profile not yet written in our editorial pass — the listed notes are the most reliable summary of the wear character until that's filled in.
Opens with a soft, almost edible warmth — almond sitting just shy of sweet, grounded quickly by heliotrope's powdery, faintly floral haze. The heart settles into skin like a second layer, cashmeran lending a woody, cashmere-smooth depth that keeps it from reading as straight gourmand. Musk does the heavy lifting in the dry-down, pulling everything close and intimate rather than projecting outward. Sillage is modest; this one stays in your personal space, not the room — Fall and winter skin scent for someone who wants to smell like warmth, not perfume.
