Opens with a bright, slightly tart pear that softens almost immediately into a cloud of marshmallow and praline — the sweetness is thick but rounded, never harsh. Cassis adds a faint dark-fruit depth in the heart, keeping it from going one-dimensional, while jasmine contributes a creamy floral note that blends into the gourmand base rather than standing apart. Dry-down is pure sugared warmth with moderate sillage and close-to-skin projection after a few hours — a cozy skin-scent finish. — Best for cold-weather evenings, casual dates, or anyone who leans into unabashedly sweet, youthful femininity.
