Sophisticated sweet herbal fragrance
Clara opens with a blast of sweetness from the vanilla mixed with a slip of rum. I can almost detect a citrusy note to it at the beginning. The sweetness is balanced with the pachouli which gives it a herbal/bitter undertone. The rum disappears quite quickly and it's not a overly boozy fragrance. The opoponax note gives the fragrance some weight and a darker texture to it. The cinnamon is well blended in so it does not particularly stand out but provides a warm feeling to this fragrance. It feels like walking into a ancient herbal shop with a cup of sweet cinnamon tea in your hands.
As someone who doesn't like pachouli fragrances, this is very well blended and the sweetness in it makes it much more wearable for me. As always, it is very well blended, sophisticated and not over powering, like many others from this house. I am pleasantly surprised by how much I am enjoying this.
