Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter

The luscious praline, vanilla and tonka bean lend a rich, cozy warmth that shines in cooler months, while the juicy pear and floral heart keep it lively for spring. In summer, the sweetness may become too dense in heat.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal
Also Works:
Office

Its bold, sweet sillage is perfect for dates, nights out and special occasions, though it can be a bit much for sporty or very close office settings unless applied lightly.

About

A joyful burst of juicy pear and jasmine opens this fragrance, quickly enveloped by a creamy blend of almond and powdery iris. The base is an irresistible swirl of praline and vanilla, with tonka bean and patchouli grounding the sweetness. The effect is a plush, radiant gourmand floral that radiates modern femininity and warmth. Bold and long lasting, it wraps the wearer in a cloud of edible, comforting luxury.
