This fragrance presents a rich, creamy vanilla with tonka bean and subtle sea notes that balance its sweetness. The marine accord is faint but discernible, lending a slight salty character that prevents the scent from feeling overly sweet or cloying. Though some appreciate the subtle complexity, others find it one-dimensional, lacking depth beyond the vanilla-tonka core. The overall effect is a gourmand profile that leans toward unisex, with a soft, easygoing presence that works well for day and night, especially in autumn and winter. Despite its limited longevity and moderate sillage, those who connect with its signature warm, sweet character often feel it embodies a rare, personal elegance.
