La Ravissante • MDCI

That osmanthus absolute is the star here — it goes from dewy honeysuckle to something almost apricot-like on my skin within the first hour. Wore it to a dinner and got asked twice what I had on.

The osmanthus absolute gives this a soft apricot-leather warmth that keeps the florals from turning syrupy. I wore it to dinner and could still smell the jasmine on my wrist four hours later. Genuinely one of the best floral compositions I've bought in years.

The starfruit and pomegranate open so bright and juicy that I expected it to stay fruity, but it settles into a soft floral fairly quick. The sambac jasmine absolute gives it a nice creamy depth without going soapy. Only wish it lasted a bit longer on my skin.
