Does this fragrance smell contemporary or vintage?+−
It leans heavily into a vintage, "old-world" style. While it was released in 2013, the notes of iris, violet, and honey are blended to evoke the powdery, romantic atmosphere of early 20th-century perfumery.
How long does the scent typically last?+−
It is known for having very good longevity. Unlike lighter floral colognes that disappear within a few hours, the almond, honey, and musk base ensures it stays on the skin through a full day or evening.
Is this a sweet fragrance?+−
Yes, it has distinct sweet and gourmand elements. The sweetness comes from the combination of honey, almond, and tonka bean, though it is balanced by the dry, rooty texture of iris and the slight bitterness of tagetes.
What is the best time of year to wear this?+−
It is most popular during the spring and fall. The floral notes Bloom in the spring air, while the spicy and sweet base notes provide enough warmth to hold up during the cooler temperatures of autumn.
