Very big whiskey note on the open, strong , projects heavy even from a dabber. This is the kind of whiskey that is going to burn all the way down. Next some sweetness creeps past the fiery alcohol, a bit fizzy, feels like pine candy a bit, it's a slightly sweet but evergreenish smell. Maple syrup tones establish in the sweetness. Turpenic pine notes remain with this, adding a fresh effect. As it dries down it gets sweeter and more maple, more like a maple toffee.
Per my partner - why does it smell like caramel pine needles, this is the strangest gourmand. Thing is she isn't wrong, it is pretty sweet almost to the point of cloying, it is thick and syrupy. It is most certainly a line gourmand scent in profile.
This was an interesting and unique scent, evergreen forest candy was not on my list for scents that I would experience.
