Note by note
Heavenly Loaf (Extrait de Parfum, 2026) feels like fresh dough sweetness, lightly powdered and warm. Imagine sweet vanilla cream wrapped in soft musk when you spray Vanillac Dreams (Extrait de Parfum, 2022). Celsius (Extrait de Parfum, 2020) comes off as smoky birch and resinous violet smoke.
You can also start from clean and musky perfumes or gourmand perfumes, or pick another house from the Scendira brand directory.
