Cakes
I first thought that they must have filled my bottle with the wrong fragrance. Because at first I thought this has none of the listed notes, none of them. No cedar or hinoki or cypress, etc. This is a rich gourmand, a sweet cake, a baked good. This smells like rich, sweet desserts. There's nothing dirty, or foresty, about this. Nothing woody even. It's just a delicious cake.
As it dried down and with a later re-spray, I found it was actually a beautiful incense-rich hinoki composition. So my nose caught up with it, and now I can detect all the notes each time I use it, though it always opens with that gourmand accord of delicious baked goods to me. I really love this, it competes very well with CdG Hinoki and CdG's incense series as well, but with cakes.
Who would say no to cakes?
