Floranilla
by Maison Tahité – Officine Creative Profumi
Floranilla by Maison Tahité is a delicate, sweet violet-centered fragrance with prominent vanilla and powdery iris notes. It unfolds as a soft, airy floral-vanilla with heliotrope and almondy violet leading the way, accented by a subtle citrus hint from tangerine. The scent carries a youthful, playful aura—reminiscent of a doll or a cherry-scented candy—offering a light and sugary bouquet that lingers close to the skin. The myrrh and vetiver add a faint balsamic depth in the drydown, grounding the effervescent sweetness without overpowering it. While the initial projection is moderate and restrained, it fades quickly into a skin-scented intimacy, with longevity that tends to cap at around four hours. It evokes memories of vintage beauty products and classic white florals, with a certain whimsical elegance that makes it ideal for spring and early summer wear.
Pros
- +Extremely wearable and inviting, with a feminine, sweetly playful character that's easy to wear in casual or professional settings
- +Well-balanced aroma with a fluffy, ethereal quality that avoids cloying sweetness despite its vanilla core
- +Unique open-airy texture that makes it feel fresh and atmospheric, ideal for warm-weather days
Cons
- −Longevity is moderate at best—many find it fades quickly and becomes difficult to detect after 4 hours
- −Sillage is subdued; it lacks projection and does not project well beyond the first hour
- −Some users perceive a synthetic, slightly plasticky note, especially if the scent is not worn close to the skin
