Fragrance notes
Gardenia and tuberose lead here, thick and waxy. The white floral accord does not float. It sits close and feels heavy. There is an animalic edge that keeps the flowers from smelling clean. It reads more like a greenhouse floor than a fresh bouquet. The green accord adds a damp leaf quality to the air.
Whipped cream and vanilla appear in the heart. They do not turn the scent into a dessert. The sweetness stays muted under the white petals. Cedar and sandalwood give the base a dry, pale wood surface. The woods feel smooth rather than sharp. The overall texture is soft and slightly synthetic.
Michelle Moellhausen composed this 2019 release for both women and men. It suits someone who likes tuberose that refuses to be polite. People who prefer airy citrus or clean musk should look elsewhere. The scent feels like walking into a humid room where a vase of white flowers has been sitting in warm water for three days.
