Website Notes:

Top notes: Spiced caramel

Heart notes: Tahitian orchid and tonka bean.

Base Notes: Bourbon vanilla and amber.

People compare it with Casamorati Lira and Kayali Vanilla | 28. (Haven’t done a side by side to tell how close they are.) to my nose, perfectly unisex.

The opening hits with a sweet and ambery punch, but very quickly introduces herbal/floral nuances that freshens and balances the sweetness, providing a very well blended and alluring scent on the dry down.

The sweetness from the caramel accord it’s not syrupy or cloying. But the tonka/orchid combination shines over that caramel, while the vanilla and the amber accords rounds the scent with sophistication and depth. This is a beautiful fragrance that gets compliments, more suitable for cooler weather, night outs, date nights, and special occasions. Projection and longevity are pretty good.
