Our take

Air of Style opens with a heavy, syrupy date note that can feel a bit cloying before the rest of the composition settles. The white pepper tries to cut through that initial stickiness, but it often gets lost beneath the sheer weight of the fruit.

Peony leads the top, but it is quickly overtaken by a dense heart of tuberose and ylang-ylang. The jasmine and orange blossom add a bright, almost indolic quality that pushes this firmly into white floral territory. Orris lends a powdery softness to the middle, though the flowers remain the loudest voice in the room.

The base introduces a dry vetiver and tonka bean combination that should ground the scent, yet the precious woods and leather feel more like a faint sketch than a solid foundation. It stays sweet throughout, moving from fruity sugar to a floral sugar.

There is an animalic thread running through the yellow florals that gives it a slightly vintage personality, which feels at home during cooler evenings. It suits someone who enjoys a bold, unapologetic white floral that does not shy away from its own intensity, even if the start is a little much for a quiet morning. The orris keeps the powder
