This one opens with a warm flicker of incense, pink pepper, and bergamot before settling into cedar, rose, and ylang-ylang through the heart. The real character shows in the base, where double vanilla and benzoin build a rich, opulent sweetness that lingers for hours.
It is best suited to cold winter nights, when its dense, spiced-vanilla warmth feels indulgent rather than heavy. Projection stays strong for a long stretch and the vanilla base carries on well after the top notes have faded.
