Overall vibe:Classic, powdery aldehydic iris with a refined, vintage Parisian elegance. It opens with a bright, sparkling cloud of aldehydes—clean, slightly soapy, and almost “icy”—giving it that unmistakable old-school luxury feel. The overall effect is timeless and sophisticated—like vintage makeup, silk, and perfectly groomed elegance. Longevity:8–12 hours (strong; classic structure with a persistent musky-woody base) Projection:Moderate to strong in the first 2–3 hours with a noticeable aldehydic floral aura, then settles into a soft but continuous powdery skin scent with a refined trail When / where to wear: Formal settings / elegant occasions Fall, winter, and cool spring days Office (if applied lightly—very polished but noticeable) Classic, dressed-up environments Situations where you want timeless sophistication Best for: People who love classic powdery iris fragrances Fans of aldehydic florals (Chanel No.5-style elegance) Those who appreciate vintage-inspired perfumery with structure Anyone wanting a “timeless, put-together” signature scent with depth FRAGRANCE NOTES TOP NOTES: Ylang-Ylang, Carnation, Aldehydes, Palisander Rosewood, Bergamot, Orange, Grapefruit and Juniper HEART NOTES: Violet, Lily, Jasmine, Rose, Magnolia, Orris, Leather, Peach and Cyclamen.
