Description
Princess of China by d'Annam is a graceful and radiant fragrance, drawing inspiration from the noblewomen of past dynasties. It opens with a delicate, juicy sparkle of lychee and pear, creating a refreshing and airy introduction. As the scent develops, it settles into a soft floral heart where peony and white lotus create a luminous, petal-soft layer, enveloped by the smooth, ethereal touch of silk. The fragrance finishes with a refined base of soft musks and woods, leaving a gentle yet memorable trail. This composition beautifully captures an ethereal softness, reminiscent of a dreamy, modern period-drama princess.
