CreamyWhat does Delicate Essence smell like?
The top opens with lotus, pink pepper and African orange blossom, bright and slightly peppery. In the heart, rose absolute, pink peony and wild rose bring a soft, fruity floral character. It settles into blond woods, amber and musk, leaving a creamy, skin-like finish. A synthetic edge also runs through the accords. Banana Republic Peony & Peppercorn and Huygens Les Roses have a close profile.
