Given its strong warmth and woody-amber character, this isn't a fresh-out-of-the-shower scent. It shines best in more intimate or dressed-up settings, though its creamy aspect allows for some casual evening wear. Projection is reasonable, improving its versatility across occasions where a noticeable scent is desired.

About

Bayswater opens with a compelling spiced flourish of nutmeg and coriander, quickly weaving into a heart of ethereal rose and smooth sandalwood. The drydown unveils a rich tapestry of guaiac wood, with a boozy, resinous warmth from benzoin. It's a complex, almost gourmand journey, balanced by the subtle earthiness of woods and a creamy undertone that persists throughout.
