Snooze
Snooze
My experiment to make a modern fleurmande chypre. This feels quite feminine to me and has opposing elements of brightness and grounded sweets.
Notes: tonka bean, lilac, vanilla absolute, green cardamom, cashmere cardigans, white chocolate, and plumeria over a modernized chypre base.
Streaks of light piercing through the curtains on a quiet Saturday morning. You know that when you get out of bed the house will be just a bit too cold. You haven’t turned the heat on yet this season. You bide your time. Hit the snooze button, and wait for the sun’s warmth to do it’s work.

I haven’t ever smelled a fleurmande Chypre before and I’m so glad my introduction to them was this one because going by the notes alone, I may have hesitated to buy it. This perfume I could easily wear year-round because the floral notes offer a lightness, the warmer notes give it a beautiful and cozy warmth and the gourmand notes have just the right amount of sweetness to tie everything all together. If anyone is interested in trying a different take on a chypre, I highly recommended this one.
Snooze was a blind but for me, and completely took me by surprise - in a great way! It is warm and cozy and easy to wear. It is quite sweet, but the floral touch keeps it from being too edible. I’m obsessed - bought a smaller size but will be coming back for the full size, for sure!!
Snooze feels designed for your local earth angel or old soul to dress them up in a fuzzy halo or purple/light grey aura during the bleak midwinter. She’s the good girl that got away, wearing a cashmere sweater and smelling like the only flowers you’ll really smell in winter, powdery purple florals pumping out of the air vents on a chilly breeze while someone does their laundry.
The white chocolate in this is sprinkled with a little salt, which I absolutely love.
This is a cozy white chocolate sandalwood perfume, powdery, purple, and nearly edible. Pondering whether I should pick up in oil or edp format!
