Akasia

The drydown on this one is what sold me — it settles into something warm and woody that lasts most of the workday. I've been reaching for it over my usual bottle all week.

I've been wearing this for about a week and it's already my go-to for evenings out. It sits close to the skin instead of shouting across the room, which is exactly what I wanted.

The sillage is remarkable for a perfume this refined—it lingers beautifully without ever being overwhelming. I’ve gotten compliments from strangers hours after applying, which never happened with my old bottle. This is easily my favorite artistic scent in my collection.
