Arianna inspired by Oriana is LUNAR & CO.'s version of the Parfums de Marly fruity floral gourmand, and the texture is what makes it fun. Mandarin and bergamot open it bright, then orange blossom and blackcurrant move in, and the base goes soft with ambrette, musk, marshmallow and whipped cream.
It's airy more than heavy. If dessert perfumes usually feel like too much for you, this is a decent place to start.
When to Wear It
Arianna is a good spring and early autumn pick, and honestly it's fine for the office because it doesn't shout. The citrus keeps it fresh, so it can handle a warm afternoon better than most gourmands. Two sprays is about right, three if you want it to sit around longer. For something creamier, Caramelia goes sweeter, and our perfumes for women collection has more to compare.
