Clean girl, woody / vanilla jackpot
Such a light and pretty scent! It can be compared to Dirty Vanilla by Heretic. In comparison Vanilj seems softer, cleaner, and not as sharp or polarizing. nIt’s woody and soft. Airy and sweet, yet a little sensual and skin like. On the dry down this is alot more woody and not as sweet. nThe projection is mild but the scent is too beautiful for me to care!nAbsolutely lovely!!n4/5n⭐⭐⭐⭐

A memory I had forgotten
In the opening - heavy cardamom. Straight up just cardamom.
Then it gets more woody and calms down. The vanilla is very old fashioned, not necessarily in a bad way.

This fragrance reminds me of how my great grandmother's apartment smelled like. It's giving old antique store / fancy older lady vibe.

This brought back some memories for me. In a pleasant way. But I'm not sure I would wear this fragrance myself. Maybe just for comfort. The more I smell it, the more I like it.

Nordic cedar’s little brother
This is a softer, sweeter version of Nordic Cedar. It opens with a smooth cardamom and becomes a sweetly spiced vanilla with a subtle powdery patchouli and deep woods. The amber here adds a comforting warmth and the musks ground everything in the dry down to become a comforting, woody, sweetness. Theyre both fairly similar but for different kinds of people in my opinion.

A cardamom heavy chai latte. Enjoyable, but slightly underwhelming. Sillage is limited. Longevity is adequate.

smells like being at a swedish coffee shop, enjoying a cardamom bun on a rainy day

Nordic Cedar with an infusion of vanilla - the same sweet spicy cardamom/cinnamon patchouli and cedar, with a sweet woody vanilla base

Incredibly addictive. Primarily a spiced cedarwood. It’s boozy, kinda nutty, almost malty and bready, but not gourmand. I really love this.

A wonderful blend of vanilla and cedar wood. It's a warm, cosy scent. A comforting fragrance for the colder days.

Soft, more spicy than woody, freshly cracked cardamom pods, cedar looks on, vanilla patch behaves well. Rather masculine.

More cardamom-heavy than Eau Duelle Eau de Toilette and a bit less green. It has a cozy vibe and also a hint of tea.

Fine green-spicy vanilla without excessive sweetness. Beautiful cardamom. Linear. S/C ok!

Beautiful spicy and not too sweet vanilla. But even if the "I have" list says otherwise: I see the scent more on a man.
