Beautiful Bran
This is a marvelous, semi-gourmand fragrance. I say "semi-gourmand" because, while there are definite gourmand elements from the chestnut, bran, rosemary and spices, the woody and resinous notes bring a beautiful but non-edible accord.
Regardless of how one wishes to classify this fragrance, it's a new love for me. I've been looking for a fragrance with a strong, realistic grain note, as they often get lost on me, and this fragrance fits the bill perfectly. The bran absolute lingers on me throughout most of the life of the fragrance.
I adore the combination of bran, chestnut and spices. Cardamom is everywhere these days, but it works perfectly here. It's SO autumn, but this fragrance is definitely wearable in other seasons. The rosemary is a nice touch, but I get very little patchouli, only a bit of an earthy quality. The sandalwood/benzoin/tonka drydown is very nice, even if it pulls this fragrance away from (but not completely out of) the gourmand category for me.
Bread in Chestnut is unisex. It is a cozy, natural, comfortable fragrance and performs reasonably well, although projection and sillage could be better. It smells fantastic but is quite expensive.
