Sněný liči

I was worried it might be too floral, but the sandalwood musk keeps it grounded and elegant. It really does capture that delicate pavilion-in-spring vibe described in the book.

I spritzed this on before walking through the park and the lychee and rose stayed soft all afternoon, not cloying. That sandalwood musk at the base is perfect for a gentle, lingering finish like you’re near a garden pavilion.

I was instantly transported to that Chinese garden pavilion when I first sniffed it — the cyclamen and lily give it a fresh, dewy feel that’s surprisingly long-lasting on my skin. The sandalwood musk base keeps it from being too sweet, which I really appreciate.
