Floral · Fruity · Sweet
House of Matriarch The Longing is a unisex scent where boronia, plum and jasmine meet honey, vanilla and amber, leaning sweet, gourmand and creamy.
It opens with boronia, butter, plum, jasmine and oud, the fruity sweetness shadowed by oud's resinous side. In the heart, orange blossom, osmanthus and honey turn the florals creamy. The base settles into leather, sandalwood and amber, where leathery and animalic tones balance the sweetness.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and see it mainly for evenings and nights out. Feminine and masculine votes are almost even, so it reads truly unisex. Le Frag Pippilotta and Nishane Nefs have a close profile.
