bdk and not PdM
If it had the sticky-sweet style of Initio or the shower-gel-like scent of PdM, this one would definitely be a blockbuster! Because just the notes already suggest something sweet.
However, bdk has chosen to develop a much more mature, refined version of a gourmand. I'm happy about that, as it suits me much better.
I would have personally wished for a bit more spice to generate even more depth. Then Velvet Tonka would have been a 9 for me.
The scent, for me, is a day that starts with a walk through an autumn forest. Where orange-brown leaves line the path. Until it ends in a wooden cabin by the fireplace with a hot chocolate, and you feel cozy.

Winterwonderland
It doesn't play the first fiddle in the league of Christmas fragrances, but it doesn't play the last one either.
It ranks among the Oajans, Il Capriccio Del Maestros, Ambre Narguilles, or Arabesques of this world and does not need to hide. Comparisons to Naxos are not too far-fetched, but also not completely out of the blue.
Clearly, the main player here is also cinnamon, alongside tobacco. The spicy accent of clove adds depth to it. The biggest difference from the aforementioned fragrances is certainly the subtle fruitiness from orange blossom, which does this scent a lot of good and additionally accentuates it.
The biggest criticisms can be found in the longevity and even more so in the sillage. Gourmand notes are predisposed to strong performance, so it is almost surprising how Anniversary does not live up to that.
All in all, you get a lovingly balanced winter fragrance here that does not reinvent the wheel but may give it a little push.

You would be so great if you had H/S
Creme De Cuir, a fragrance that one can hardly find less than good. The only objectionable thing about it is its unfortunately below-average longevity and sillage. If it were just a bit stronger, one could smell these fine nuances even better.
At times, it reminds me of Salam by Anfas.
Mandarin sweetness that has been trimmed of its citrus. Smooth leatheriness that has cut away all the round, heavy aspects. A light luxury sunscreen character a la Soleil Blanc.

How much longer will you stay?
Worn on Saturday at the restaurant and still detectable in the laundry basket on Monday. For a summer fragrance, it's truly amazing.
Unlike so many perfumes, it doesn't leave behind an amber, musky, or woody base, but I can still sense mint, basil, lemon, etc.
The opening is one of the best I know. The freshness - minty, basil, lemony - but without bitterness or sourness. Later, it becomes a bit softer, with jasmine and musk playing a larger role. But it never drifts into a heavy creaminess; it stays as close to the opening as one could wish.
Sure, there are much more expensive options, but at €180 for 50ml, Torino21 remains a rather pricey, yet truly entertaining, unique fragrance in its genre.
