A juicy pear picked in a fenced garden at sunset, and a white flower that blooms as evening falls: this is exactly where the story begins. The composition shifts seamlessly between fruity, sweet, and woody notes, making it far richer than its playful opening suggests. There is a clear playfulness in the fragrance, but it is a refined, composed playfulness that never gets out of hand or slips into childishness. It reveals itself in stages; what you smell in the first minute is not what remains at the three-hour mark, nor what bids you farewell at the end of the night. The lingering trail—warm, rounded, and delicious—resembles the scent of dessert in an elegant kitchen. It’s a fragrance better suited to a long, carefully planned evening than to a short outing in the middle of the day.
A quintessentially feminine fragrance. It belongs to the floral-woody-amber family, with a soft gourmand note that emerges in the final stages. Its character is both luxurious and playful; it is neither a dry, formal fragrance nor a simple, sugary scent that is quickly forgotten. It is perfect for occasions, parties, dinners, and evening outings in both mild and cold seasons. It has excellent longevity, leaving a warm, long-lasting trail on the skin that lingers on clothing until the next day. Its sillage is well-balanced and noticeable up close without overwhelming the entire room or bothering those around you.
Top Notes
The fragrance opens with juicy pear, golden gardenia, and blackberry. The pear lends the opening a bright, watery, fruity freshness, while the blackberry adds a dark tartness that deepens it and lends it a rich nuance. Gardenia enters early to provide the fruit with a white floral frame that elevates it beyond simplicity and lends it a sense of dignity. A full, bright first impression that captures attention and generously opens up the composition without revealing all its layers at once.
The Heart of the Fragrance
The heart note is composed of sensual jasmine blended with patchouli and ambergris. The jasmine exudes a warm, velvety floral scent that draws the fragrance close to the skin and gives it its distinctly feminine character. Patchouli supports it with an elegant, earthy green note that lends the composition its dignity and balance between sweetness and woodiness. Ambergris adds a natural, musky softness that clings to the skin; here, the fragrance sheds its initial lightness and takes on greater depth.
Base Note
The base notes settle on moss, amber, and sandalwood with a praline accord. The moss adds a green, moist quality and a cool undertone that prevent the sweetness from becoming overpowering or cloying. Amber and sandalwood create a creamy, rounded warmth that clings to the skin and lingers. As for the praline, it adds a delicious, toasty touch that makes the trail inviting and alluring—one you’ll find hard to resist.
Who is this fragrance for?
For those looking for a warm, occasion-appropriate fragrance that avoids being overly sweet or dry and woody. Spray it on your pulse points, behind your ears, and on your wrists before heading out, and it will stay with you until the end of the evening and beyond. It’s best to apply it to moisturized skin to ensure it lasts longer and its layers unfold in the right sequence. It’s an elegant gift for those who love both woody and sweet notes in a single fragrance that doesn’t lean too heavily toward either.
