✦ First Impression:

A sweetness rises—but not very sugary. Imagine the scent of a flower pressed gently between pages, still breathing faintly of summer.
There’s a vanilla-like undertone, soft and slightly creamy, like white petals steeped in milk and light.
The top note opens like laughter held in a sunlit garden, with airy floral clarity and a transparent texture.
It’s not heady. It’s the opposite of indulgent—more like innocence made aromatic.

✦ Evolving Presence:

As the oil breathes, the vanilla-laced floral tone grows rounder, warmer—like cotton flowers warmed by a shy spring sun.
Its sweetness gains a hint of skin-soft warmth, almost like a memory wearing linen.
There’s a touch of powder in the distance—not cosmetic, but like the hush of pollen brushed from petals.
The aroma never demands. It offers—gently. A scent you must lean into, like a child reaching for a hand.

✦ Drydown Impression:

When it settles, the floral edge turns almost creamy—like a whisper of rice flower or silk soaked in warm rain.
The sweetness softens further, grounded by something faintly woody or hay-like, as if a breeze passed through a straw mat and lingered on your sleeve.
It’s a scent that wears itself out like dusk, leaving only the warmth where it once bloomed.
What remains is quiet skin, soft light, and the breath of something kind.

✦ Emotional & Symbolic Impression:

“It felt like finding a single petal on damp spring soil—untouched, and purely clean.
Its sweetness wasn’t sugary—it made you remember what it felt like to be small and safe.
This scent carries the quiet clarity of something too gentle to survive harshness, but too radiant to forget.
It smiled like a childhood memory, then disappeared, like childhood does.”
