THE FAVOURITE

The iris note is stunning—it’s soft and creamy at first, then the sandalwood grounds it into something really elegant. I sprayed it this morning and it’s still lingering on my scarf at dinner, which never happens with other perfumes I’ve tried.

I was a little worried a "powdery" scent would feel old-fashioned, but the sandalwood keeps it grounded and modern. Wore it to work and caught whiffs of that soft musk for a full eight hours, which never happens with my usual picks.

The dry-down is pure elegance—that iris and musk blend stays close to the skin for hours without ever turning sharp. I keep catching whiffs of the sandalwood base long after I thought it faded, which is exactly the kind of quiet strength I wanted.
