About

Imagine a rich, gooey honey-maple syrup confection with an earthy, slightly savoury core. This scent opens with a dominant, sticky sweetness, balanced by a subtle, almost powdery floral hint from the lotus. The distinct mung bean note grounds the sweetness, making for a complex, edible aroma. The salted quality keeps it from being overwhelmingly sugary, adding an intriguing depth.
