light, crisp, lovely. a little mysterious, it gets harder to pick out individual notes as it dries down and morphs into a form of its own. sweet but not cloying. floral but not powdery or soapy. light in...feeling? i guess? - not in potency - a few dabs on a sweater lingers for days. fell in love with it instantly on first blind buy in fall 22, and snagged two before the collection retired this year. lives up to the name (transcendent!)

This starts off artificially fruity, but it quickly loses that quality and turns into a beautiful green floral scent. The dry down of this is stunning. It’s soft and gentle in the most beautiful way. It's the scent equivalent to draping yourself in a cashmere shawl as you step out onto your deck. The smell of your newly blooming lilacs are being carried through the chilly breeze and you inhale slowly in a moment of uninterrupted quiet reflection. You pull the shawl a little closer to your chin and take a sip of the warm tea out of your favorite mug as you watch in awe as the fog silently surrounds you.
