Les Élixirs Charnels - Gourmand Coquin Guerlain 2008

I bought this on a trip to Milan, I thought I would treat myself and spend 200 buying something based on hype instead of trusting my nose. I will preface this by saying this smells of top quality materials and masterful blending. On my skin though this doesn’t develop much it is milk chocolate (artisan though not your local grocer) with vanilla and a hint of spice which reminds of chai but doesn’t smell like it. That is it. I don’t get the rose or liquor on my skin. it also gets musky in the drydown. So overall I can appreciate the craftsmanship but I find myself really bored by it.
