By the editors · 2 min readCinnamon and basil open in an unexpected pairing — warm spice alongside a green, slightly anise-inflected herb. Lemon provides citrus brightness that partially mediates between these two contrasting elements. The opening has a culinary register from the basil-cinnamon combination.
Praline in the heart introduces sweetness — a caramelized, nutty warmth that shifts the composition toward gourmand territory. Patchouli in the base provides earthy depth that grounds the praline and prevents it from reading as purely dessert-like.
This is a spiced-gourmand with a herbal opening twist. The cinnamon-praline axis dominates the development while basil contributes an interesting but fairly brief green counterpoint. The patchouli gives it some earthiness and longevity. Accessible but distinctive in its herb-spice-sweet combination.
