Sound of a Ricochet
by Floraïku
Sound of a Ricochet is a warm, unisex vanilla-amber fragrance with prominent sandalwood and tonka bean accords, delivering a rich, smooth, and well-balanced scent that feels deeply enveloping. It opens with a bold, slightly synthetic vanilla that fades quickly into a deeper, woody-sweet core of vanilla, amber, and sandalwood, with subtle powdery and smoky undertones. The dry down reveals a slightly dusty, incense-like texture reminiscent of old libraries or Zen temples, evoking quiet academia and cozy introspection. Its bearing is long-lasting and moderately projecting, making it ideal for chilly autumn and winter months. Users describe it as luxurious and comforting—a scent that feels like a warm embrace, capable of turning an ordinary moment into something intimate and serene.
