This is very modern vanilla, elegant and dry. The fragrance references the EDP version, but feels more airy and definitely less overwhelming. It opens with a clean, lightly creamy vanilla that has nothing to do with gourmand sweetness; instead, it is natural, refined and subtle. As it develops, a distinctive powdery accord emerges, lending the composition softness and a velvety texture, reminiscent of fresh, clean silk sheets. Over time, the scent settles closer to the skin, becoming more intimate and personal. The vanilla blends with dry, gently woody nuances, adding depth and a refined character. This is a minimalist yet meticulously crafted composition, calm, soothing and exceptionally elegant. Longevity is at least eight hours, with moderate projection.

I’m not sure why, but I’ve always avoided perfumes with a rice note. This composition does indeed open with an accord of cooked rice, which fades very quickly. The rice is accompanied by a touch of acidity, I’m not certain whether it’s bergamot or perhaps buttermilk. After a while, the scent becomes sweeter, with notes of caramel, a buttery accord and vanilla. It is sweet, but not gourmand. The base is a very pleasant combination of woody notes and vanilla. The fragrance is pretty, but it doesn’t quite convince me. Longevity on my skin is also disappointing, after two hours I can only smell it on my jumper, and the projection stays close to the skin.

A fragrance you don’t need a master’s degree from ISIPCA to describe well. The opening is fresh, with tart blackcurrant and bergamot. After a while, however, the scent becomes sweeter, jasmine appears, ripe, rich, and intensified by vanilla. In the dry down, the vanilla blends with woody accords, turning velvety and very comforting. This fragrance reminds me of late June and the beginning of the summer holidays in Poland. I’m sitting on my grandmother’s porch, enjoying a slice of pleśniak (a crumbly cake with fluffy vanilla foam and blackcurrant jam) while the air is filled with the scent of blooming jasmine. Longevity is around six hours, with good projection, you can smell it throughout the house. For me, it works best in winter, as in summer it can feel a bit overwhelming.
