By the editors · 2 min readAlmond and caramel open with a toasted sugar crunch that feels like praline still crackling on the pan. Coffee slips underneath, lending a bitter roast that keeps the sweetness from turning frosting-thick. Vanilla arrives next, plush and custardy, while patchouli folds in an earthy cocoa-like darkness that stretches the confection into something almost leathery. Tonka bean dominates the dry-down, pumping out warm coumarin hay that blurs with the earlier caramel to create a continuous nougat ribbon. Vetiver and cypriol add a dry, smoldering woodsmoke hum, so the final aura smells like roasted nuts dipped in burnt honey rather than dessert. Projection stays chest-level for six hours before it relaxes into a skin-glow, perfect for cool autumn nights or a cozy café date.
