Such a pleasant suprise in dry down

I blind bought this fragrance as soon as it came out. I mean...Hazelnut heaven.. what is not to love right?
And I do like gourmands, but not if they are too literal or linear.
I haven’t done a full day wear test yet as it's summer here and this to me is a cold weather fragrance.
My first impression after wearing it is that at first blast it leans masculine. BUT It gets much more unisex in dry down (within 15 minutes). I guess that’s due to the thyme … it’s not a medicinal opening but it has a bit of a herbal bite.
In dry down it gets really warm and cozy. The hazelnut really comes through and it makes it a bit creamy nutty but it’s not lactonic. Together with the amber, vanilla an tonka I just didn't want to stop smelling my wrists.
I think this would work great for colder fall weather.
It’s a strong fragrance… To me it has some similarity to Side effect by Initio.. not a dupe... But that intensity has the same vibe in the dry down.
I definitely like it… but I would not describe it as a gourmand-gourmand (as I had expected it to be).
