Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
I picked it up randomly and fell in love with the bottle. It smells fresh, floral, with a vintage touch reminiscent of Samsara EDT, a bit of Shalimar EDT, and Mitsouko. It has that citrusy acidity from Shalimar, the lightness and powdery vibe of Samsara from the lily. The vanilla and tonka bean are imperceptible, almost nonexistent, perhaps in trace amounts. All the citrus gives way to jasmine, lily, rose, lilac, and honeysuckle that lasts from start to finish. It lasts about 6 hours without being overwhelming—it’s elegant and high quality: that simple luxury where less is more, with the subtlety of a happy, refined lady, unique and unattainable. It’s magic and purity all at once, with an angelic charm.
