Reminiscent of the coziest place you’ve ever been. It smells like a wood burning fire inside of a log home in the middle of winter with cookies baking in the oven. There’s soft jazz playing on the record player; you’re bundled up drinking a honey sweetened black tea. Everything is familiar and everything is just as you wish it to be.
The scent definitely reminded me of By the Fireplace, but in a more subtle and sophisticated way. For me, I really smell the vanilla and incense with a bit of a woody note that comes across as a subtle cedar scent when first sprayed. I really love the scent, but I found that it did fade on me quite quickly and I wish I had smelt it longer. This was a sample I made at Nordstrom so I’m not sure if it was the eau de toilette or the eau de parfum but I’m hoping it’s the edt because of the projection that it has and how long it lasted. I really love smoky vanilla woody scents and this is honestly so simple yet executed so effectively and I just really love it. This would be definitely something I would buy a full bottle of because I could see myself using it as an every day scent in fall and in winter.
