This one's a proper Christmas cracker, if you're into smelling like a gourmet mince pie. It's a divisive gourmand Beast Mode scent from older batches, though newer ones seem to have taken a hit in the oomph department. Still, it's a beautifully blended, indulgent treat for cold weather.

A budget take on Parfums de Marly's Oajan, an apple-pie gourmand built on honey, cinnamon, and osmanthus. The comfort-food opening is well captured, but the vanilla-tobacco base here is simpler and less creamy than the original's polished, black-tie gourmand finish.
