Fragrance notes
Character
White flowers arrive first, clean and bright. They carry a crisp edge that feels like stepping outside when the air turns cool and the trees are heavy with color. Ylang-ylang follows with a soft, rounded depth. The rose sits beside it and adds a gentle sweetness that never becomes loud. Sandalwood grounds the blend with a smooth, creamy wood that makes the entire composition feel settled and calm.
The powdery accord gives the fragrance a classic, vintage feel. It suggests a wool coat and a quiet street after rain. The warm spicy accord adds just enough heat to keep the flowers from feeling cold. It is a sweet scent, but the wood keeps it steady. The yellow floral nature of the ylang-ylang brings a rich, golden tone that contrasts nicely with the pale white flowers at the start.
This is a scent built on smooth textures rather than sharp turns. The sandalwood lingers in the background, supporting the petals without taking over. It feels composed and intentional. The mix of wood and petal creates a warm, inviting space around the wearer. The result is a woody and powdery floral built on sandalwood.
