  For me, one of the best in Sylvaine Delacourte’s catalogue. It begins with an intensely sweet jasmine, which I find too heavy for summer days, better suited to evening wear. It then evolves into orange, reminiscent of opening a jar of orange blossom honey—that’s exactly how it smells. The dry-down is spotless and magnificent: sandalwood with musk. The vetiver, which I usually dislike for its mouldy, damp earth scent, went completely unnoticed on me, perhaps it’s so well integrated with the other notes. It’s not a particularly original or groundbreaking fragrance, but it’s very well finished. Like with other Sylvaine Delacourte scents, the main drawback is an average-to-short longevity, barely four hours (now I only detect the musk on my skin). Rating: 9
