What does Daydream of Someone I Knew smell like?

It opens with ambrette seed absolute and Earl Grey tea, giving a clean, lightly spiced first impression. In the heart, jasmine absolute and rose draw a floral veil that lends the scent a soft, sweet body. The base of oakmoss and amber follows, and as it dries the perfume settles into an oriental warmth with a mossy depth. The synthetic accord gives it a smooth, modern feel. Phlur Amber Haze and Lattafa Opulent Musk have a close profile.
