Délectation Splendide
Tobacco and lemon make for an unusual opening — the citrus is brief and bright, while the tobacco gives an immediate dryness that stops the whole thing from reading as sweet too early.

By the editors · 2 min readTobacco and lemon make for an unusual opening — the citrus is brief and bright, while the tobacco gives an immediate dryness that stops the whole thing from reading as sweet too early. That changes fast.
Tonka bean, praline, and almond converge in the heart into a dense, marzipan-like accord. Benzoin intensifies the resinous warmth underneath, and cinnamon adds a gentle spice rather than a sharp edge. Patchouli and anise ground the sweetness, preventing it from becoming candied.
The dry-down is musky and softly resinous. This is a gourmand-leaning fragrance that skews warmer and more complex than most — tobacco and benzoin keep the almond-praline from reading as simple confection.
