By the editors · 2 min readNathalie Feisthauer's contribution to the 2005 Sweet series, Sticky Cake commits to its title. The opening is honey and pistachio over almond — warm, slightly oily, recognisably bakery rather than abstractly gourmand.
The heart of iris keeps the cake from going saccharine; it pulls a cool, faintly powdered spine through the middle, an unusual move for a fragrance this dessert-forward. The drydown is the most interesting choice: milk and sugar yes, but with myrrh stitched in, which gives the warm pastry a slight medicinal-resin shadow rather than the clean vanilla finish you'd expect. The result is a gourmand that reads as more constructed than indulgent, easier to wear than the brief might suggest.
