‘If you like sweet fragrance, you will adore this. Close your eyes and allow yourself to be carried away on a cloud of indulgence. Too tempting to resist – as if a fluffy cloud of Rose scented sweetness were picked from the sky above.’- Roja Dove

No. 16 feels rather traditional from the start. It’s main scent is peachy, but in quite an interesting way. It’s not overly youthful and fruity as you might expect with peach. It’s unripe, mixed with the citrusses (mostly grapefruit to my nose).

It transitions into a floral heavy scent with a twang of ylang-ylang. I wouldn’t be able to distinguish most of the florals in here; jasmine seems to be the main theme here. Texture wise it’s light and airy (yet well-performing) in the same way that Pierre de Velay No. 11 is. Just like that, this also has rhubarb and it becomes sweeter and powdery. It’s not a favorite for me personally, but a nice creation nonetheless.
