As it says above. Floral, a touch sweet and powdery. Yes I would say comforting. I agree about the scented makeup powder.
It is pretty intense on the opening. Once it settles then you get the lilac, cyclamen, sweetness and vanilla. This is first and foremost about the floral notes. Lilac and especially cyclamen can be quite strong notes. Then there is some sweetness, vanilla and the sandalwood that keep it going for hours. I have to point out that although there is sweetness this is not a sweet girly scent. The sillage is above moderate but it retracts to a skin scent after a couple of hours. The longevity is very good.
If I want to be very huggable then I know what to wear. It’s one to wear when with family and on casual days. I think a child would be quite happy hugging someone wearing this. Don’t we all remember the scent of when your Grandmother, Auntie etc hugged you. I can still smell my Grans Je Revien or Coty L’Aimant.

Albis is another of my comfort fragrances, the ones I reach for on a cold grey day when I need a little sweetness and a warm hug. I usually choose between this and the Villoresi Musc, going for this one today as I had worn a soft musk yesterday.
The first spray is soft, a sweet and powdery vanilla from the start, but not a suffocating one. It has a creaminess to the powder which keeps it from choking me, and which makes it very gentle. It begins to work its magic immediately, enfolding me and lifting my spirits with its friendliness.
Albis is a fairly linear fragrance, and is still soft and sweet eight hours later. I can still smell the perfume on myself but the projection dies back from slightly over arm’s length at first spray, to noticeable on oneself without effort, at the heart and drydown. The scent has almost an edible quality at this stage, not reminiscent of any one food, but more the idea of a delicate sweet pastry. This adds to the comfort it gives, as it satisfies the sense of taste as well as smell.
As well as wearing this on its own, I have used Albis to “calm down” an over-loud rose, for example. It layers well and will add a little softness and sweetness to suit one’s mood. It is not a cheap perfume, but it is worth its cost in my opinion. It is well crafted, the individual notes are beautifully blended and it lasts well. I bought my first bottle on eBay soon after it first came out, and I have since bought a full price bottle as well. I do not want to be without my Albis comfort blanket.

Powdery floral with orchid and lilac talc. Quite calming, comforting, and super captivating.

I love this perfume. whenever i want to feel comforted and cocooned i wear this. the sillage must be pretty wide because i have had people come from across the room to compliment me and ask what i’m wearing. soft powdery but not boring.i get more orchid and lilac than jasmine.good longevity can still smell at the end of the day a little pricey but worth it to me
