Story

Section 7 of 7

For anyone who enjoys sweet, spiced vanilla orientals; too sugary for someone wanting a dry, woody scent.

It opens citrus-bright with bergamot, mandarin, and elemi. The heart turns floral and spiced with orange blossom, cinnamon, and cardamom, carrying the Warm Spicy and White Floral accords. The base settles into bourbon vanilla, guaicwood, and praline, sweet and warm. It's long-lasting with intimate sillage, best suited to cool-weather evenings or a date.
