What it smells like
The Scent File profile
Opens with a sharp-sweet rhubarb tang that quickly softens as daffodil pushes through — bright and slightly green, not grandma's flower-shop heavy. The heart settles into warm almond that reads more skin-like than edible, keeping it from tipping into dessert territory. Cedar grounds the dry-down with a clean, dry woodiness, while cashmeran wraps everything in a soft, slightly musky warmth. Projection is modest and close-wearing; sillage is a polite skin trail rather than a room announcement — ideal for daytime spring or fall, casual professional settings, people who find most florals too loud.
