Once Upon a Time
Inspiration
Once Upon a Time translates warm memories into a modern, elegant sweetness. It opens with sparkling mandarin and a playful touch of pink pepper. Soon a plush, airy layer of cotton candy and candied almonds appears, not childish but refined. In the depths, musk and castoreum add texture and intimacy, turning the fragrance into an embracing aura that lasts for hours. It is a nostalgic yet sophisticated gourmand, perfect when you want calm, comfort and an unmistakably niche signature.
