Baiser de la Fève Privé N°6

Bergamot strikes first with sharp, almost metallic brightness, but violet immediately softens it into a powdery, soapy haze that feels nostalgic—like opening a vintage vanity case. Within five minutes, tonka bean begins its creeping ascent from the base, transforming what might have been a fresh composition into something noticeably sweeter.

Jasmine blooms into the tonka's amber-vanilla embrace, creating a creamy dialogue that feels almost buttery against the skin. The powdery violet recedes slightly but never disappears, providing a crucial counterpoint to prevent the sweetness from becoming oppressive; the fragrance now reads as a refined confection rather than a candy counter.

Cocoa emerges alongside sandalwood, and the composition settles into a warm, slightly woody sweetness with an almost nutty undertone. The sandalwood becomes more pronounced than during the heart phase, lending a subtle dryness and preventing the final hours from reading as pure gourmand; instead, you're left with something approximating chocolate-dusted almond skin, soft and intimate.
