Luminous and serene: a soft breeze of sun-kissed neroli passing over a lush bouquet of honeysuckle, osmanthus, tea rose, vanilla chiffon, and gleaming amber.

This scent is like sitting peacefully in a Mediterranean garden.

 

It opens with the neroli, which is slightly sharp in a pleasant way but does fade back into gentleness as it dries, very much like a breeze. After that, the honeysuckle is the strongest note, though I can distinctly get both the tea rose and osmanthus as well, with the amber as a backbone. I was not able to distinguish the vanilla chiffon, but didn't mind. On me it was a lovely nearly pure floral, layered but in the way that the floral scents might be if I was sitting in the garden and getting the scents of each of the flowers in it alternately. Softer and more complex than Katharina, which I wore right afterwards to compare the orange blossom/neroli note. I found this delightful and very soothing, but it's definitely an uncompromising floral.
