  For me, one of the best in Sylvaine Delacourte’s catalog. It opens with an incredibly potent sweet jasmine, which I find too heavy for summer days—better suited for night. Then it evolves into orange, reminding me of opening a jar of orange blossom honey; that’s exactly how it smells. The dry down is spotless and magnificent: sandalwood with musk. I don’t usually like vetiver due to its moldy, damp earthy scent, but I didn’t detect it at all, perhaps because it’s so well integrated with the other notes. It’s not particularly original or groundbreaking, but it’s very well finished. Like other Sylvaine Delacourte scents, the main drawback is average-to-short longevity, barely lasting 4 hours (right now, I only detect the musk on my skin). Rating: 9
