'Cellar door' is cited as a beautiful sounding phrase. Any favorite 'cellar doors' in your language(s)?

In the field of phonaesthetics (the beauty of sound), the phrase 'cellar door' is often used as an example of 'euphony' (a beautiful sound, separate from meaning). I would love to learn some words or phrases in your language(s) which you find to be particularly euphonic.

 

A few of my favorites are:

 

crepúsculo (twilight, in Spanish)

canções (songs, in Portuguese)

benadoora (tomato, in Arabic)

citlali (star, in Nahuatl)

spoko (cool, in Polish)
