A complex and multifaceted aroma that is an original from the brand, created by the french master performer Pascal Gaurin, VP Senior Perfumer at IFF, that has worked on creations for Michael Kors, Vera Wang, Tom Ford, etc. Interesting fact: There is a misconception about the”crème brûlée” note here. In an interview to the perfumer, he stated that the starting point of this fragrance came out of a “pineapple brûlée” (caramelized or burnt pineapple) on top of a “crème brûlée” he had for desert, but not the dessert itself. It opens with some of the burnt pineapple sweetness (without being too sweet), along with the turmeric and mossy nuances. As it dries down the balsamic and spiciness from the meddle accords intensifies while keeping its sweetness, for a couple of hours. Then, the scent turns to a slightly smoky, woodsy, mossy and sweet delightfulness. Projection and longevity are great and could work for any season (the amount of sprays are key).

Have a couple meetings today at the office, so I’m playing it safe and sophisticated. This one lasts all day. I get about 14 hours or so on skin with a solid 8-10 hours of projection. A little goes a long way!

— nothing startling new or earth shattering, we’ve all heard it before, but should we be trying go back to a time where we didn’t chase the newest realase or have a 1000 bottle collection ?? Was a single fragrance associated with your father/grandfather? Would that be better today ??

If you spray this fragrance, congratulations… you’re basically entering a lifelong relationship. By the time it reaches the middle notes, you’re celebrating your 60th anniversary and shopping for orthopaedic shoes. And the base notes? That’s just the fragrance sitting beside you at the retirement home.
