Longevity

10+ hours. Eau de Parfum concentration. One to two sprays to the chest or inner elbows last through a full workday, dinner, and into the night. The bourbon vanilla and benzoin base cling tenaciously to fabric — jackets, scarves, and sweaters can carry the scent for 24–48 hours. For best results, apply to pulse points and moisturize beforehand. Reapplication is rarely needed unless you prefer an intensely sweet, candied opening throughout a very long evening.

Sillage

Moderate to strong for the first 2–3 hours. Projects about 2–3 feet — noticeable enough to turn heads and earn compliments like “something smells like cake” or “you smell delicious,” but never cloying or aggressive. The candied orange opening has surprising lift; the vanilla dry-down settles closer to the skin. After the 3-hour mark, it becomes a creamy, warm, sweet halo that lingers beautifully. This is not a shy fragrance — it announces itself sweetly and leaves a memorable, edible trail.

Occasion

Ideal for daily wear, date nights, brunches, festive gatherings, holiday parties, cozy evenings, and anytime you want to smell edible and radiant. Works beautifully in air-conditioned or cooler indoor settings. Best for moments that call for joyful, magnetic sweetness — a signature scent for gourmand lovers who want something brighter and more citrus-forward than a straight vanilla or caramel fragrance. It says: I am sweet, but I am not simple.
