Opens with a sun-warmed burst of peach and apricot — ripe but not syrupy, closer to fresh fruit than jam. Tuberose emerges quickly in the heart, creamy and full without turning heady or indolic, anchored by the sweetness already in play. The dry-down softens into vanilla-laced sandalwood, warm and close-wearing with moderate sillage that stays in your orbit rather than announcing itself across a room. Projection is intimate by the second hour, leaving a soft gourmand-floral skin trail — best for warm-weather daywear or casual evenings when something effortlessly pretty is enough.
