Willows is a gorgeous fragrance. It reminds me a little of Prada Infusion d’iris, but this has an unusual note, maybe the wheat.
It’s so sad that the fragrance is gone in a flash. One minute you are surrounded by a beautiful scent cloud and the next there is nothing. It literally lasted about an hour on my skin. With better longevity this would be a favourite.

Willows is beautiful. It’s also very difficult to describe because the notes sound so odd, but they are put together perfectly.
The iris mixes with the carrot seed giving Willows a lovely, almost starchy quality that cool and appealing. The mimosa provides a sweet, light floral and the tonka gives the fragrance an almost cherry-almond base.
If I read about this perfume, I’d think it wasn’t for me – starchy? carrot seed? wheat? It doesn’t make sense when you read about it, but it’s great when you smell it.

The first puff of sillage smells like tender mimosa, but when I bring my nose close to the skin the scent is distinctly wheat-y. It has a coarse, bread-y aroma, and it reminds me of how the crust smells on the proper, dense bread, albeit without the toasty, baked vibe–which is a plus in my book. For a short moment it makes me think of Bois Farine, thanks to that bread-y vibe, but they’re not really similar scent-wise. The woody notes dominate in Bois Farine whereas Willows grows more and more floral in the heart, so the resemblance to the l’Artisan fades out very quickly.
Mimosa re-enters the stage in the drydown, joining forces with slightly starchy iris. The scent is sweet, clean and disarmingly pretty, playing the airy brightness of the mimosa off against a more powdery facet of the iris, a little as if someone experimented with combining doses of the mimosa-forward Impossible Iris and starchy Muskiris.
I don’t get much violet out of it, but there’s a twist of tonka bean in the drydown, the softly powdery kind that gives off a little cherry facet. It fits very well in the overall clean, sweet and demure aura of the fragrance.
A charming, dainty offering, like a more subtle and sublime take on the Lolita Lempicka aesthetic.
