Gorgeous!

The bergamot and mandarin orange zip across your skin with crystalline brightness, immediately chased by pink pepper's dry, almost numbing spice. Within seconds, the citrus notes become a mere suggestion, a luminous backdrop for tuberose's creamy, somewhat funky entry—it's almost meaty in its density, with a hint of that distinctive rubber-like character raw tuberose possesses.

By the thirty-minute mark, the florals have bloomed into full complexity: jasmine sambac softens the tuberose's edges with its delicate, slightly powdery character, whilst tobacco smoke curls beneath like an old velvet armchair in a library. Orange blossom adds a bitter-green facet, and ylang-ylang contributes a faintly soapy, creamy undertone that amplifies that 64% creamy accord the composition promises. This is the phase where Gorgeous! reveals its true character—floral, yes, but textured and slightly smoky.

The cedar and guaiac wood emerge with quietly woody authority, whilst tonka bean absolute wraps everything in a comforting, warm vanilla-tinged hug. The tuberose remains detectable but softens considerably, becoming almost a memory of floral richness rather than a present statement. What remains is a creamy, woody-vanilla base that's genuinely comforting—less fragrance, more skin scent that lingers close for those willing to lean in.
