Spice plum without Christmas fuss, rum-soaked ship planks with burlap sacks, unisex, mature, shifting and consistently intriguing.

Starts off pungent, the sharpness gives way to a deep, resinous core, sweet orange adds radiant warmth. Fantastic cushiony oakmoss base.

Elegant creamy rose, classically grounded.

Fruity rose liqueur becomes spicier, deeper, earthy, truffled. Finally, a smooth leather note adds to dusty praline. Well done.

Top and heart: a bit of Ylang & Sandalwood, a lot of Iso E Super. Base: a bit of vanilla, a lot of musk. At this price ... a relief.
