This fragrance opens with a sophisticated interpretation of vanilla—not the flat, one-dimensional sweetness of commercial baking products, but the complex, slightly boozy character of genuine vanilla beans. This centerpiece is immediately enhanced by raspberry and strawberry. The effect is reminiscent of opening a wooden box filled with dried vanilla pods and berry-scented potpourri.
The base reveals sugar crystals that add a sparkling quality rather than heavy sweetness, while heliotrope's almond-vanilla facets amplify the opening vanilla while adding unexpected depth. The complete experience captures that moment of discovering a treasured potpourri blend in an antique shop—familiar components arranged in a way that feels both nostalgic and entirely new.
