SKIN TEST:
The paper test left me with a better impression than the skin test by a lot! On skin, this reads as a muddy and unclear set of “brown” notes that could be chocolate, rum or caramel — who knows? Unpleasant and unclear scent journey. Wanted to like this but I can’t. 2.5/5 stars
PAPER TEST:
Truly unisex and is best suited for cold weather. The cardamom is blended nicely with the saffron. While the heart notes are all independently sweet on their own, the base notes ground this into a slightly spicy/mildly sweet scent without getting into gourmand territory.
The caramel adds a stickiness without being cloyingly sweet. The sandalwood isn’t pickle-y. The most standout note to me is Lily of the valley. It adds a sweetness that I’m not convinced is needed here.
