13. Poetry in Bloom 3 | Enveloping Perfume Gems for Spring
As the season deepens, I’m drawn to scents that mirror its subtle shifts—florals that warm on the skin, gourmands with softened edges, and fragrances that invite stillness between moments. Spring continues to move gently around us. These five fragrances carry that same feeling—delicate, luminous, and quietly enveloping. I hope one of them offers you a moment of comfort, clarity, or simple delight.

Heliotrope is a soft amber composition kissed with creamy vanilla and tender white musk. It opens with a gentle blend of tangerine and neroli—bright yet subdued, like morning light through gauze. As it settles, powdery iris and delicate heliotrope emerge, melting into a sheer base of vanilla absolute, amber, and a trace of frankincense.
