By the editors · 2 min readA small gourmand built around a single subject. Bergamot and orange blossom open the perfume just long enough to keep it from feeling cloying out of the gate.
The heart is the point: Madagascar vanilla, rounded with caramel — sweeter than a perfumery-grade vanilla absolute, closer to a pâtisserie. There's no smoke, no boozy edge, no booziness; the gourmand stays clean and pillowy. Cedar in the base gives it just enough structure to keep the sweetness from collapsing. The dry-down is warm and close-wearing, more comfort scent than seduction.
