Never heard of it!?
That was my first reaction when I held a sample of it in my hands.
However, I didn't expect much, considering the reviews given here.
So here we go… right from the first spray, a scent unfolds that cannot be compared to any other. At least none that I know.
A fresh and only slightly sharp bergamot combined with a sprinkle of pink pepper and a dash of ginger is immediately perceived by the olfactory sense.
The next stage immediately follows with a combination of cardamom, light carrot, and a dominant cinnamon. The association with cake or fine pastries comes to mind.
In the drydown, a large portion of cedarwood joins in. However, I can't perceive patchouli and ambroxan at all; they must be present in very small doses. Iso E Super is also not noticeable in large dosages, but the benzoin is, and it gives the whole fragrance a certain sweetness that doesn’t come off as overdone. The light sandalwood rounds off the scent in the end.
All in all, a lightly sweet cedarwood pastry with a strong cinnamon note, if that were to exist.
For my taste, a bit too much cinnamon.
