This smells like soft, sweet baby powder, or maybe like one of those antique powder puffs. Because of the soft vanilla and gourmand rose, it keeps it from veering into a geriatric scent.

It's so clean too. Almost like if you took a hot scented bubble bath in a clawfoot tub, powdered yourself, put on lipstick, and laid in a silk canopy bed with beeswax candles lit. Sexy in a clean way.

Wow. What an absolutely enticing scent. When I first sniffed, I thought it was lovely but perhaps a bit too strong and sweet…. Then I put it on my skin and the magic began. I found myself sniffing my wrists over and over and have fallen in love with this scent. It is absolutely stunning. I don’t believe I’ve ever smelled any perfume quite like this beauty.

This reminds me a lot of Roses Musks without the powdery old fashioned dry down.

As it settles on my skin, the vanilla finally appears, as the green accord seems to become slightly diminished.

It's just stunning. Elegant and soothing, like living in an oil painting. The rose is gorgeous but not punchy, the vanilla is glowing but not gourmand, and the beeswax is a waxy honey note that starts off a little bit sour, like buttermilk, which adds so much complexity to the rose and the sweet vanilla. It lasts (faintly) all day, and by the evening it becomes a warm and fuzzy vanilla.

Other reviewers have covered why it's so pretty. On my skin on a warm day, the rose becomes really chewy, almost tinged with caramel. The overall effect is wandering a county fair as dusk falls. A romantic version of a county fair, mind you. I let someone take my samples, and my full size bottle is an ocean away, and I MISS THIS SCENT.
