This wears like a clean, fluffy comforter, like a big blanket you can sink into. It’s a “your-skin-but-better” scent that stays soft and close to the skin. It reminds me of Gloomily Gloomily, but without the lavender: the same calming, smooth, lightly clean, comforting profile. Although it wears close, I've been getting lovely wafts of warm skin and freshly laundered fabric with a gentle sweetness. Clean fabric scents don’t typically work on me, but this one does. The sweetness is balanced, so it never turns into dryer sheets

Okay, I’m not the best at writing perfume reviews, so take this with a grain of salt..your nose might pick up something totally different. In the bottle: Bright green apple shampoo vibes right off the bat. It’s juicy and a little tart. Wet on skin: Still very much green apple-forward, but now softened by a subtle musk. I’m not getting the "incandescent incense smoke" as described, but I suspect that note is blending into the muskiness I’m picking up. Overall, it feels like a dreamy light, floaty, fruity scent. For those wondering, it’s not similar to Zorya P. Dry down: The white gardenia starts to peek through, and the scent shifts into something a bit more pinkish floral and fruity (even though the notes are predominantly white florals). It actually reminds me a little of The Pearl..that same fruity-tart-sweet combination. As it continues to settle, more musk comes forward and gives the scent a soft, hazy finish. I blind bought a full size and I’m so glad I did since this one really worked for me. It's fun, dreamy, and beautifully blended. If you’re into fruit-forward florals with a musky base, definitely worth checking out!
