REVIEWS
Fragrantica - Let me try to explain how much of a delight this fragrance is. The immediately feeling that I get when I spray it is a dreamy, hazy, "halo", aura type of sensation, almost like hypnogogic state of consciousness. It's a ethereal, angelic, milky, creamy, transcendental scent...At first spray, I get a silky, creamy, lactonic aroma. Almost like you're laying under a thin veiled creamy colored satin sheet... It's not a condensed milk or a pungent lactonic, it's almost like you're taking the halo glow of the moon on starry night and turning it into a creamy base to lather on your skin. As for the tuberose, I know that for some folks when they see this note, they immediately so no. Tuberose has the tendency to dominate a frag. However, in here, it honestly emulsifies so effortlessly in with the other notes (especially the milk accord), that it creates almost a buttery like smoothness to the senses. It's almost not pungent, it leans more towards the bubblegummy playful side of tuberose without being juvenile. My favorite part of this is the drydown. The incense, butternut vanilla and cocoa are "gourmand-esque" in scent, however it never delves too far into that territory. I know that some folks are hesitant of incense, but in here, I honestly don't pick it up. I do get a sensual undertone of something slowly simmering in the shadows, but the butternut vanilla and cocoa creates a creamy, sexy, night time like ambiance...so the incense is way in the back only to support the other notes to bring forward the power of the more decadent ones.
Fragrantica - It is definitely one of the best and most special perfumes in history. It is very beautiful and timeless. It is imaginative and dreamy. The ultimate beauty of a perfume is this blanche bete
Fragrantica - Milky, musky, white floral with "beast" effect and pure elegance in a bottle. Versatile, works both in the office and date night.... it opens you up to a world of dreams. One word that best describes this perfume is...... "Mysterious". Would definitely recommend it!!!
Fragrantica - I have a sample of this masterpiece. Truly difficult to explain..let me try...Smells clean, white, musky but not light this is a beast! You can smell the white flowers and Vanilla, is a bit sweet and at the dry down you can be able to smell the Cacao!! You have to try this on skin not on paper!! I think this is chic and elegant and smells rich.
