Reviewed profile

Creamy vanilla and tonka pour over soft suede, with a flicker of mandarin up top. It is warm and heavily sweet, a plush, smooth composition that feels almost edible.

Sweetnessgourmand0.94

Projection, risk and texture describe how a fragrance behaves in a room and on skin. Where wear reports are thin, those scores rest near the middle by design, so a mid-range reading here is a statement about the evidence as much as about the scent. Warmth and sweetness are derived from composition and do not carry that caveat.
