Key fragrance characteristics

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The note pyramid of this perfume begins with a refreshing start: Mandarin and Orange create a bright and fruity opening that instantly lifts the mood.

In the heart of the composition, a rich bouquet unfolds: spicy Clove harmoniously blends with delicate flowers – Jasmine, Lily, exotic Tiare, and fragrant Ylang-Ylang, creating a romantic and sensual middle.

The base notes add depth and longevity: Ambrette adds a musky softness, while Chestnut, Mate, Tea, and Virginia Cedar weave woody and green chords, completing the composition with a warm and cozy finish.

This dynamic evolution from freshness to floral splendor and then to a stable base makes the fragrance multifaceted and captivating on the skin.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth

The floral bouquet, to be frank, is very intense. The other notes seem to have gotten lost, you can't smell them. But there are certainly a lot of flowers here 🌸

This perfume is like it transports you to another era. It reminds you of time travel, where every breath is a step into the world of aristocracy, be it Russian or European. Imagine expensive outfits, confident posture, and an atmosphere of sophistication. True vintage elegance is encapsulated in this bottle! ))

This perfume is perfect for an older woman, it has elegance, softness, and richness. It's a truly beautiful luxury fragrance where floral notes, warm citruses, and woody accents intertwine. It's like an embrace, creating an atmosphere of comfort and style

The scent, of course, isn't for everyone. It quickly starts to irritate
2/5

The fragrance disappointed me, and that's very sad. The first notes really create a feeling of freshness and lightness, but that's just an illusion. Then sweet, intrusive accents begin to appear, which even irritate and can cause discomfort. Yes, it's complex and expensive, but that doesn't save the situation. My advice: don't rush with the purchase, let the fragrance "live" on your skin for at least 10-20 minutes

The scent is generally not bad, initially delighting with its bright combination of mandarins and flowers. But after a few hours, the situation changes. The base notes start to emerge, and it's not so pleasant anymore. Clove, for example, causes me discomfort - it's too sharp and out of place next to tea. As a result, this smell starts to press, becomes intrusive, and it's hard to get rid of it. Now it just sits on the shelf, because I can't stand its aftertaste. I only use it when my mood allows
