Inspired by Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb

The jasmine and rose hit first but the patchouli underneath is what keeps it from smelling too sweet, and I get little whiffs of vanilla hours later. Wore it to dinner and my friend kept leaning in to ask what I had on.

I was worried the rose would smell like my grandma's soap, but it's actually soft and a little powdery, and the vanilla in the dry-down keeps it from going sharp. Wore it to dinner and could still catch the patchouli on my scarf the next morning.

The jasmine hits right away but it's the patchouli underneath that keeps it from feeling too girly. I've worn it three days straight and the vanilla softens it into something warm rather than sharp. This is my new everyday scent.
