$30 for a 50ml bottle seemed like a pretty good deal and within my allocated budget for blind buys, and I instantly fell in love with the bottle, so I figured -- why not?
What happened after was a pleasant surprise. The fragrance leans heavily on vanilla, but it's not the confectionary vanilla I despise. Instead, it's a rather rounded blend of a slightly balsamic vanilla pod, woods, lilies, and rum. I detect a slight bit of citruses only at the start, and then it's a pretty balanced composition with a slight projection and unexpected longevity. I guess what started as a fun blind buy will now be among my winter picks.
