This is a special fragrance. Unique yet pleasing.
Right upon spraying, the star anise is clearly noticeable. However, the vanilla makes it wonderfully soft and simply delicious. At some point, the vanilla takes a backseat to the star anise, which becomes stronger but not dominant. Overall, a very rounded scent. Spicy but not piercing. A warm, sweet base that doesn’t come off as sticky due to the floral notes. It is never floral, yet the combination seems to benefit the fragrance. I find the scent to be long-lasting, but close to the skin. This is a fragrance that can be worn well to work. Not loud, not intrusive, yet still something you don’t smell everywhere.
Great, this one is going on the wish list.
