Gourmands always spell out pink marshmallow, caramel goo, tutti fruity & company right? Wrong. Here is one for grown ups, with its austere packaging and serious, albeit exotic name. Handy if you want to indulge in a guilty secret, as it camouflages its earthly delights to perfection.
So, how does it smell? Well, could have fooled me that it was a spicy amber to start with. Great, but not that unusual. Pay attention and a rich and opulent date note soon emerges from the depth of an ancient terracotta pot. Another one where less is more. The accord is simply beautiful, moreish, and simply delectable.
This is the sticky date pudding of the fragrance world, kept in check from turning too sweet by a raw clay-like edge. Soft, conforming, and classy.
Have a strange thing for damp earth, and the smell of cellars ... Don't ask.
