This one's a heavy hitter: tons of throw and lasts awhile. Apply sparingly, and you'll get a face full of rich spring blooms anchored with sweet, dark resins. The carnation makes the typical jasmine/gardenia a little more spicy than soapy. Narcotic floral I don't reach for often, but deeply satisfying when I'm in the mood for it.

Agree this doesn't have the kind of longevity or throw that I'm used to from BPAL fragrances, but given the intent I don't mind re-applying as needed. It encourages a more ritual-like relationship where I reach for it for a reason and apply on pulse points with mindful intent. This one is excellent for winding down in the evenings and wearing to bed without feeling like I'm intruding on my partner.

I've never quite understood the appeal of musks, but this one may have changed my mind. Very much a "my skin but better" blend, as if I've only been eating healthy fruits for ages and had an epic love sesh that worked me into a languid sweat. I suspect this will bloom beautifully in warmer weather under silky garments, appropriate for the office and date nights alike.

Amber and sandalwood are my favorite core notes so this was a no-brainer blind bottle buy. No regrets! The saffron adds an almost-savory powdery-fresh quality that I can't really detect on its own, but adds a soothing and sophisticated quality to the blend. Love the art, and the name, which translates to "I'm fine" in English.

Great blend for a full blind bottle buy. Expertly blended and well balanced, this lacks the typical "shriek" of white florals nor the heavy, soporific quality of my usual fall/winter amber/patch/sandalwood faves. I'm not a huge fan of typical gourmands (I don't enjoy smelling like food) but this has a sweet and fresh quality that feels quiet and comforting and very femme.
