A light, airy, and dreamlike fragrance that evokes a springtime pond at the beginning of a gentle rain. It opens with a bright, crisp aldehydic burst reminiscent of laundry dried in the sun, blended with heliotrope and a subtle citrus note. The heart unfolds into a soft, powdery floral with delicate cherry blossom, lotus, and peony, all grounded by a faint starchy rice note that adds a unique, milky warmth. The dry down is musky, soft, and slightly sweet, with sandalwood and amber anchoring the lightness. It feels both vintage and modern—like a hand-pressed flower in a Japanese incense box. The fragrance is soothing and gentle, most fitting for spring or summer. Though subjective, it leans feminine and intimate, with moderate sillage and longevity that some find surprisingly long for a light perfume. Not all note combinations are cohesive for everyone: the aldehydes can feel overbearing initially for some, while the powdery rice and heliotrope can verge on synthetic or outdated for others. Yet those who appreciate its ethereal, storybook quality describe it as art in a bottle.
