Dark, resinous, spicy vanilla. Moody and nostalgic. Nothing like the leathered marzipan of Ishq Al Shuyukh IMO.

Sometimes I want to snuggle into bed smelling like a warm mug of Swiss Miss hot cocoa (with tiny marshmallows), and this does that for me.

Too light and too young for me to wear during the day, but my ideal soft bedtime scent. Like a crisp, buttery biscuit with milk.

Nice, but doesn't hold up against more interesting vanillas in my collection like Eau Duelle. Spice and sillage are very subtle.

A sample with purchase in 2015 changed my entire fragrance trajectory. My F/W signature scent for years. A smoky, chestnut-y, cozy classic.

The leather and spice are subtle, but balance the sweet, plummy (date) caramel. Not too sexy for daily wear. Like a more refined Khamrah.

A fresh, juicy, fruity violet. Great for all occasions, all seasons, mild and inoffensive, but forgettable for all of these same reasons.

Reviews highlighting vanilla left me disappointed. Very bitter, very sweet, and citrusy. Like a negroni or spritz. The bottle is adorable.

Caramelly marzipan and leather. Dense and sweet. The kind of leather that can smell rubbery, but maturation and drydown take the edge off.

This wowed me when I first sprayed it back in April, but now - it's fine. The cherry dissapates really quickly. A likeable floral amber.
