Real talk
That aldehydic opening is the test. Cold, waxy, slightly soapy, it pushes people away before it can pull them in. But if you let Swann warm up, it turns into something quieter and more interesting.Swann
Rice flower makes this the horchata of fragrances. If you've wanted a vanilla that doesn't smell like extract, like a candle, like something borrowed, this is it. Sweet enough to wear to bed.Wish
