Prism

Prism is a short, focused scent that lets a few notes shine. It opens straight into bourbon vanilla and amber, with no bright citrus to delay the warmth. The vanilla is round and creamy, the amber adds a golden, slightly powdery depth, and the whole thing feels enveloping from the first spray. At the centre sits jasmine. It adds a creamy, luminous floral note that stops the vanilla from being a plain dessert, giving it a more elegant, perfumed character. The jasmine feels full and sensual, and it blends smoothly with the sweetness around it. Benzoin carries the dry-down. It is a resin with a soft, balsamic, vanilla-like sweetness and a slightly smoky warmth, and it makes the finish feel velvety and long. Because it is an extrait, Prism lingers on skin for many hours and leaves a rich, soft trail. It is made for autumn and winter evenings, dates and special occasions, though a light hand makes it workable on cool days. It is a feminine fragrance with a confident glow. Bottom line: a velvety vanilla amber with a jasmine heart and a lasting glow.
