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.
Like a spiced caramel latte: coffee and mandarin start, myrrh and sandalwood with pepper fill the heart, and tonka, vanilla and musk finish. Smooth and warm in the boozy-spicy vein of Angels' Share; long-lasting.

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
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its warm, boozy character and moderate projection make it brilliant for dates and cooler evening occasions. While too intense for sports, its surprising airiness gives it more versatility than typical heavy gourmands, allowing for some casual daytime wear and even formal events.
