Whispers of Enlightenment
by House Of Sillage
Whispers of Enlightenment opens with a vibrant burst of peach and pink pepper, creating a youthful, candy-like effect that feels both bright and slightly artificial. The scent quickly evolves into a soft, sweet floral heart dominated by jasmine and rose, balanced by a background of caramel and vetiver that lends depth and warmth. As it dries down, the perfume acquires a slightly powdery, slightly sour undertone, with some users noting a resemblance to body spray or even a candy-coated lip balm. While some find the dry-down overly sweet or powdery, others appreciate its luscious, dessert-like character—reminiscent of peach pie with a hint of caramel—as a sophisticated, wearable moment of sweetness. It performs best during daytime hours and in warmer seasons, particularly spring and autumn, with moderate sillage and a moderate lifespan that ultimately fades into a skin scent.
