I Prefer
Linden and melon brightened by lemon, resting on mimosa, vanilla, amber and a line of cedar.
Perfumer: Luca Maffei
Honeyed linden and juicy melon lead the way, while bergamot and lemon add acidity that keeps the fruit from turning heavy. Then come the fluffy powder of mimosa, the clear brightness of lily of the valley and the mellow sweetness of ylang-ylang.
The base pairs warm vanilla and amber with soft musk. A dry line of cedarwood runs through them, giving the sweetness a backbone so it settles into a calm, enveloping sense of reassurance.
The Chinese name, 偏爱, means to favor one thing above others. Here love is the first choice and the exception to every rule, something worth showing openly. Nobody has to be flawless; every moment of you is already complete. The sweetness carries that comfort of being chosen just as you are.
