Leonara is a soft, velvety floriental with a refined, slightly powdery floral core. The opening features a fresh, greenish-fruit note of black currant and violet leaf, evoking a light jam-like sweetness without becoming cloying. The heart unfolds with a lush, layered floral bouquet centered on orchid and tiare flower, supported by Bulgarian rose, jasmine, and tuberose, all held together by a warm, gourmand-like vanilla. The dry down reveals a subtle, earthy elegance through benzoin, sandalwood, and musk, creating a surprisingly long-lasting and dry scent that lingers gently on the skin. The fragrance strikes a balance between sweet and abstract—more refined than gourmand, more elegant than typical oriental florals. It’s worn best in the evening or during cooler seasons, where its soft sillage and plush texture shine.
