  I loved it and noticed four distinct moments. The opening is powerful and enveloping, like a giant bouquet of flowers with sweet chalk (I know it sounds odd, but that’s exactly how it is). Then, within moments, it becomes powdery with a young rose and yellow flowers. After 15-20 minutes, that powdery phase turns into a tender talcum-like, yellow floral with a white trail and a citrus touch. Finally, it settles close to the skin: soft white flowers with a hint of spicy kick (the cardamomo is wonderful) and a warm creamy base (grey amber with cedar, though you don’t notice it, it adds a woody warmth). Ideal for afternoons and evenings in late spring or summer; it lasts 2-4 hours. It doesn’t tire or bother anyone.

  Agree with the previous reviewer: it has three well-defined phases and evolves beautifully, which I really appreciate. It begins with citrus notes dancing with cardamomo, giving it a camphoraceous and fresh touch. Then comes sambac jasmine and May rose; since that rose smells like jasmine, in this stage there is simply one exquisite jasmine. Additionally, the basmati rice leaves notes of nut or almond. Here I detect a spiced jasmine from the rice and cardamomo. It lasts four hours, I wear it during the day in spring, and I will certainly try it in summer.
