Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
Smells exactly like creamy soap. The longevity is minimal, so I recommend keeping it next to the bottle for reapplication. It lasts a bit longer on clothes but not much, and on skin it’s barely noticeable, only right above the application point. Ideal for everyday wear, like spring or summer.
I was gifted a set with this fragrance and another called French Lavender and Tuberose (not in the database, so I’m adding it); according to the info, its notes are: top mandarin, blackcurrant and pear; heart tuberose, French lavender and passion flower; base cocoa bean. It’s described as a fruity floral. Both have poor longevity, a soft sillage and little evolution. Periwinkle and Iris stands out for its iris and vanilla, while French Lavender is sweet with a shy touch of lavender; I was surprised to find I prefer the latter. Suitable for daily wear in casual settings or work during autumn and spring; in summer they’re overwhelming unless applied very sparingly.
