Hundred Silent Ways
by Nishane
Hundred Silent Ways is a richly blended, creamy floral gourmand with a prominent peach-and-vanilla core. It opens with a sweet, juicy peach and mandarin orange, wrapped in smooth, powdery white floral notes like gardenia and jasmine. Over time, the creamy vanilla and sandalwood become more pronounced, grounding the scent in a soft, warm base. The fragrance is deeply sweet with a subtle lactonic quality, evoking cotton candy and sweetened dairy. It performs well in terms of longevity and projection—most users report it lasting 8 to 12 hours and projecting moderately to strongly, especially on clothing. While comparisons to Black Opium are frequent, the supports indicate it’s not a duplicate but a more refined, less synthetic version with a softer, airier quality. The scent feels elegant and feminine, layered with a dreamlike quality of vanilla and white flowers, making it ideal for daytime wear, spring, or fall, and suitable as a signature scent for those who enjoy opulent, sweet floral perfumes.
