A timeless lactonic-soapy-fresh fragrance
The name sounds like it's going to be all sweetness/nuttiness - but it's dominantly lactonic, powdery, fresh/"clean ozonic", and light musk.
It's a nice blend of warmth with freshness - like you just stepped out of the shower, threw on a warm robe taken out of the dryer, opened the window to take a big whiff of fresh air, and spritzed yourself with something lactonic + nutty. It's classy and inoffensive - appropriate for day or night, office or date, cozy and clean.
Probably best for fall/winter/spring, but could work for summer too. It also lasts really well for a body spray (several hours later and it's still going strong) - I wish BBW would bring this back in an EDP!
Update: I will say that the longer I've had my bottle, the more the pear blossom note comes through - which gives off a little bit of a "powdery honeydew melon" feel to it. This is a top note, so it does calm down after an hour or two of wearing - but it's interesting since that note wasn't as present for years.
P.S. If you're having a hard time finding this, try Pink - Sweet Fig . It starts out much more fruity (the fruity fig), but the dry down is close to the DNA on Golden Honey Praline.
