The seven deadly sins - Pride
Paradise is lost? Oh come on, John Milton. I can show you. It fills my sky-high barns. The hay for the winter is in. Inside, orange mint pearls and golden drops of amber thread still shimmer in the light, falling in peaty mists of whiskey vapor onto giant tobacco leaves. Dark brown veins branch out there, pulsating with warm coffee liqueur that nourishes the dried fruit inside. You should definitely try them. Where wooden flowers grow on spicy soils, streams of myrrh honey flow, that is my garden. You can have other gardens besides mine. But I only created all this here.

According to Aichi Liu from OM Parfum in Taiwan, she only uses high-quality raw materials for her EdPs and extraits, which she produces by hand in small batches.
In the '7 Sins' series, she dedicates herself thematically to the seven deadly sins.
"Winter Pride" is already the second version on the theme of pride, the sin in which man ascribes all the glory for his achievements to himself without acknowledging what God has given him. Although the notes it contains are almost identical to the first version "Pride", Aichi herself claims to have created a darker version of this fragrance with Winter Pride, in which she sees rose and coffee at the center, which surprises me in that the rose has been alienated so much here that it no longer shows itself to me at all. Instead, I perceive an ambery hay at the beginning, spicy and dry, in a field of tension between peaty whiskey, sweet rum and peppermint. Soon, a spicy, dark tobacco decoction emerges very prominently underneath, in which the clementine in combination with the coffee bean and rum acts like a dried fruit. Earthy, woody patchouly, a hint of tonka and a myrrh resin reminiscent of fir honey add to the complexity of the base. If there is a rose here, at best it creates some space for a woody, earthy-floral violet in the fruity-spicy tobacco leaf soaked in rum and coffee, which projects moderately and full-bodied.
