A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
Violet leaf's green-herbal snap meets bright orange blossom in a fresh, almost dewy burst, whilst heliotrope's creamy undertone immediately softens the edges. Within seconds, you're aware of a powdery, almond-tinged sweetness developing beneath—the composition establishing its peculiar balance between sprightly florality and cosy gourmand comfort.
The almond and mimosa emerge with full force, transforming the fragrance into something gentler and creamier than its opening suggested. Iris adds a whisper of soap-like refinement, whilst the rice powder settles across your skin like a translucent veil, making the whole composition feel softer, more diffuse, more powdered than initially apparent.
Tonka bean, benzoin, and musk create a skin scent of considerable tenderness—sweetened, yes, but not cloying, with the powdery elements still dominant. The fragrance becomes increasingly intimate, clinging close to the body rather than projecting, a subtle second skin that smells faintly of vanilla, almond biscuits, and warm fabric.
Héliotrope Blanc arrives not as a whisper but as a gentle collision of competing sweetnesses—one floral, one confectionery. The heliotrope here isn't merely a fragrance note; it's the structural backbone, that creamy-powdery flower that smells faintly of vanilla and almonds even before the actual almond accord materialises. Orange blossom and violet leaf provide a citric-green counterweight in the opening, preventing the composition from becoming a dessert counter, though the tonka bean and almond heart certainly push toward gourmand territory.
This is a fragrance for those who appreciate the fuzzy middle ground between florals and gourmands—neither purely innocent nor unapologetically sweet. The iris and mimosa add a slightly green, almost herbaceous layer that keeps the composition grounded, whilst the rice powder and benzoin create a skin-like softness that makes the scent feel powdered rather than wet or juicy. There's something distinctly intimate about it, a quality that suggests fresh bedsheets dusted with talc rather than floral profusion.
