By the editors · 2 min readThe opening is disarmingly sweet—coconut bent toward caramel by a splash of dark rum, more dessert than tropical. It reads like the warmth of spiced pastry rather than a beach fantasy, setting up something gourmand that quickly deepens. Within minutes, tobacco leaf arrives with tonka bean in tow, the pairing familiar from countless woody orientals but here softened by that lingering coconut haze. The tobacco never goes harsh or leathery; it stays plush, almost creamy.
What keeps this from sliding into pure confection is a base of oakmoss that brings a slightly bitter, forest-floor edge. The moss doesn't dominate but it grounds everything, adding a green shadow beneath the sweetness. The result feels like a hybrid: part amber-soaked comfort scent, part earthy chypre skeleton.
Best suited to cooler weather and anyone drawn to gourmands that retain some complexity. It wears close and warm without becoming cloying, though the sweetness will be polarizing.
