Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
A true white floral bomb, with a super realistic jasmine opening and a powdery dry-down that’s very feminine and refined. A timeless classic, potent and well-made.
I’m surprised it’s the only one here, even though it’s been on the market for years; it must be a ‘rare essence,’ distinct from the current gourmand and fruity trends. At first, the white flowers, especially the jasmine, hit hard. Then, the powdery notes take over and become my favorite part, though there’s a touch of moss that doesn’t quite work for me, even if it’s not annoying. I don’t detect any vanilla. It feels vintage, floral, and powdery. As with all perfumes, you have to test it on skin, but I’m sure it stands out from the rest.
