Dessert for cold nights, poured from a cognac glass. Cinnamon and praline give it a boozy, caramelised sweetness, and it hangs about for hours. Heavy going in warm weather.
Erupts in spice, then turns dense and syrupy. Cinnamon and cardamom lead into praline and candied fruits, with a coffee and vanilla base that lasts for ever and fills a room. Cold-weather only.

Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Cognac, cinnamon and praline are made for autumn nights, with winter a close second. Summer heat turns it cloying.
Occasions
Best for date nights and upscale evenings, where its strength and warmth help it leave a mark. Too sweet and assertive for the office or sport.
Seasons
Coffee, cinnamon and vanilla are tuned to autumn and winter. In spring it is stifling, and summer is out of the question.
Occasions
Loud and sweet, it is made for dates and evenings out. The office and the gym are better left to something quieter.
