Roses on Ice
A floral aquatic gourmand woody fragrance built around rose, ice, musk, amber, woody. 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.
Love Don't Be Shy
Opens with a bright neroli and orange blossom that softens almost immediately, the citrus-floral edge quickly pulled into a dense, pillowy heart of marshmallow and vanilla. Caramel adds warmth without tipping into candy territory — the balance stays distinctly wearable. Projection is moderate but sillage is generous; it announces itself in a room without being aggressive. The dry-down is long and skin-close, a warm musk anchoring the sweetness into something genuinely intimate — Best worn close to skin in cooler months, ideal for anyone who wants comfort-food sweetness that still reads as grown-up.
