It’s allergy season, so I intend to re-review this again later. Tonight, though, what I’m experiencing is quite pleasant. It starts off with a very noticeable almond note; though not the typical cherry-almond note that I’ve come to associate with scents that include “almonds”…and I’m glad for this. On me, the almond note quickly turns into a “doughy” almond (my allergies *might be to blame for this). I almost want to say “play-doh almond”, but it’s not that. Nor is it extra sugary smelling like almond bark that you use to bake with. It’s not an unpleasant “doughy” almond…just something “thick” and/or “chewy”. (Sorry, I”m not explaining myself well.) It quickly turns into a powdery almond note, with a dusting of vanilla, and the welcome introduction of gardenia and lily. Though these flowers aren’t as robust as they are in Olivine’s other scents, they play a key role in keeping this fragrance from turning into a gourmand. It adds a sensual and very feminine quality, and tones down the sweetness that vanilla usually brings. I’m thinking the sandalwood and musk are helping to create the illusion of powdery-ness [on me]. NOT a baby powder scent by any means! The musk definitely keeps it alive and going; preventing it from being boring. I like that it’s soft and delicate, yet also smells sensual and sexy at the same time. The coziness of the almond and vanilla draws you in; but it’s the combination of gardenia, musk, sandalwood, and lily that invite the nuzzles to your neck. Overall, a very soft and beautiful fragrance. It’s lasted around 5 hours on me so far, but I sprayed it on my neck, wrist, and shirt. (I only sprayed it on my wrist so I could sniff and take notes every so often. Usually, I spray once or twice and that’s all.) I won’t comment on the sillage until I update this without my allergies, because I don’t trust my nose, but it seems to be fairly decent. I keep getting lovely whiffs of it when I walk around. I consider this a warm scent that would be wonderful in cold weather, lovely in the Spring, and may even play nicely in the Summer if used lightly on the neck.

This review is for the perfume oil. A burst of almond in the brief opening introduces a meaty textured gardenia/lily combo in this long wearing beauty. I was actually surprised by the twists and turns I’ve so far discovered along this fragrant road. Musk pins things down underneath alongside the vanilla to maintain a stable warmth underneath what is otherwise a breezy floral heart. The florals here are very realistic, I can easily picture a gardenia at my ear. Beautiful and well worth the price. I also love using the oil in this case as it lasts longer than I’d expect and adds hydration when it’s much needed.
