Cinnamon buns with lemon drizzle
Well according to Andy not technically a chypre and yet... it is... I first get cinnamon and lemon. It reminds me of Danish cinnamon buns drizzled with lemony icing. Bayleaf is there in the background to balance it, make it less gourmand and more elegant. Opening is strong and long and depending on how my skin feels I get either more lemon or more cinnamon. Then it settles to a skin scent and you get small whiffs through the day only as you move. Rose in the heart for me is subtle, blended with other ingredients. If I do not really concentrates on it, it skips me. Later oakmoss and labdanum kick in. There is meant to be patchouli, but either a little or well blended, I am not detecting it. I love the oakmoss that mixes with the cinnamon and labdanum. That is when you take the cinnamon rolls you got in a bakery earlier for a forest walk.
Olfactory story that I get is:
"In the mornings I go to local bakery for my daily cinnamon buns drizzled with lemon icing. The whole bakery smells of freshly baked goods, today they used a lot of lemon. I spend some time there, chatting to the owner. Then I go home passed a florist. Door is open and and I get a whiff of roses. I pack up some herbal tea and the buns and go for a walk to the forest. It is beautifully mossy and damp but not wet."
