Almost gourmand, cinnamon-dusted gaiac wood
Clove, lemon, gaiac wood….it sounds like a recipe for disaster. But somehow, in Dark Horse, all these potentially fractious elements pull and push against each other, modulating and smoothing over each other’s hard points to arrive at something very round and smooth. The clove and nutmeg notes float gently over the top of this structure: fresh, a little fiery, but also un-harsh.
It is not a sweet fragrance, but there is a thickness there that gathers force behind the bright, clear spices at the front, slowly adding body and something for you to grab on to. Imagine clear egg whites sprinkled with warm, brown nutmeg and whipped until the mixture becomes foamy, and you have an idea of its general texture.
