What does Akatsuki Melba smell like?

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the number of votes is small, so the picture is still tentative. There are no season or occasion votes; its gourmand character suits anyone who likes a soft, comforting scent, and it reads open to both men and women.

It opens with osmanthus absolute and Akatsuki peach; in the heart, raspberry jam and blackcurrant bud absolute keep the fruit going. The base of tonka bean absolute, Tahitian vanilla absolute, caramel and salted butter turns it creamy, with a slightly salty sweetness. Epicò Candyva and Bath & Body Works Raspberry Jam Donut have a close profile.
