Dates Delight

Dates Delight

A lush oriental gourmand where syrupy Riyadh dates and soft peony flow into caramel, tonka, and coumarin, lightly spiced with cinnamon. Honeyed resins and icing-sugar sweetness settle over Kalimantan oud, creating a plush, enveloping trail that feels indulgent yet polished, ideal for cool evenings.

Scent Development and Character

A sumptuous oriental gourmand built around a syrupy infusion of Riyadh dates and soft peony, soon wrapped in warm caramel, coumarin, tonka bean, and a dusting of cinnamon. As it dries down, honeyed resins and icing-sugar sweetness melt into the dark woodiness of Kalimantan oud, creating a plush, enveloping sweetness with gentle spice and polished oud rather than heavy smoke.

Who It Is For and When to Wear It

Best in autumn and winter or cool spring evenings, when its dense sweetness and resinous oud feel comforting rather than overwhelming. Suits evening wear, intimate gatherings, and occasions where a warm, luxurious gourmand presence is desired rather than a fresh daytime scent. Most suitable for autumn and winter; can work on cool spring evenings but is generally too rich for hot summer days. Sillage is Strong, full-bodied sillage that creates a noticeable aura around the wearer, though it softens to a moderate, cozy halo after the initial gourmand-oud surge. Longevity is Long-lasting to very long-lasting; typically persists most of the day and into the evening with normal spraying, especially on fabric and in cooler weather.
