A cigar dipped in honey. Tobacco opens rich and almost cherry-like, vanilla and cacao follow, and amber and styrax add a smoky edge. Sweet, smooth and made for cold nights.
Honey and tobacco up front, cacao and vanilla in the middle, amber and styrax underneath. A thick, sweet tobacco scent that belongs to autumn nights and close company.

Seasons
Tobacco, honey and amber are made for autumn and winter. Spring and summer would find it cloying.
Occasions
Sweet and far-reaching, it belongs to dates and formal evenings. It is too rich for an office.
Seasons
Honey, tobacco and amber suit autumn and winter best, with a cool spring evening as the outer limit. In summer heat the sweetness gets sticky.
Occasions
Made for date nights and evenings when closeness is the point. It is too sweet for the office and not a gym scent.
