Épices will spice you up.
Épices opens very zesty, like if I have just grated lemon zest or opened a jar of candied lemon. I imagine that I go to my spice cupboard and I look for some spices to cook with later. I open several containers and smell them - coriander seeds, cardamom, saffron, bay leaf. I get a whiff of mint or eucalyptus perhaps. Jar of sweet cocoa is ajar at the back. Scent of cooling as well as warming spices are mixing in the air. Cooking does not take place in Épices, spices remain powdery dry. Drydown is my favorite part. The scent moves into a soapy musk, which smells like an old fashioned laundry soap, the kind my grandma used when boiling the bed sheets. Later it sweetens and at the same time gets dirtier, too. Perhaps some animalic musks join the soapy ones. Very sexy. Épices is an eau de toilette which after the initial stage moves into a skin scent that last all day, easily 12 hours.
