From the Brand:
“What emotions do you want to save? What memories from your life do you want to select?” Once Upon a Time explores the comforting power of childhood recollections—moments like running through meadows, the scent of tangerine peel crackling in a fireplace, or the sweetness of cotton candy at an amusement park. These memories are transformed into a gourmand perfume designed for adults, not children.
Notes:
Mandarin, Pink Pepper, Musk, Castoreum, Vanilla, Candied Almonds, Cotton Candy
Our Take:
A nostalgic gourmand with an unexpected edge. Bright mandarin and pink pepper open the fragrance before sweet notes of almond and cotton candy emerge. Beneath the playful surface, musks and animalic nuances add depth, keeping the sweetness balanced and giving the scent a distinctly grown-up character.
Mood:
Nostalgic. Comforting. Playful.
Wear When:
Cool evenings, cozy moments, or anytime you want something sweet that still feels sophisticated.
