A sun-drenched fairytale that is light, playful, and irresistibly dreamy is what you step into with a summer this sweet. A hazy, golden moment where time slows down. That’s the world Once Upon A Summer creates. Inspired by Dor De Vara by Gritti, it’s soft and indulgent, like a sugar-dusted memory you never want to end. The creation of that delicious magic begins with the delicate charm of Peach Blossom, Magnolia, and Honeysuckle. A tender and comforting floral breeze is the result. A ripe fruitiness, like biting into summer itself, is then added by sun-kissed, juicy Peach joining the party. The gourmand heart is where Whipped Cream and Marshmallow take over, making it fluffy, sweet, and absolutely mouthwatering. A warm, familiar hug is then provided by soft, creamy Vanilla as it wraps everything up. A smooth, velvety finish that lingers on the skin with quiet elegance is achieved as Sandalwood and White Musk slip in while it settles. Summer bottled for whenever you need a little escape is what this Floral Gourmand creation feels like, it is warm sunshine, sweet laughter, and pure, edible joy. Make Once Upon A Summer your signature and carry sweet sunshine, creamy desserts, and soft petals wherever you go.
