Our verdict on Dries Van Noten par Frederic Malle: Acquired

This one's a true masterpiece, a unicorn for lovers of luxurious, creamy sandalwood gourmands, though its polarising medicinal or 'weird' facets initially put some off. If you can get past its quirks, prepare for pure, comforting bliss.

About

Imagine a warm, spiced vanilla custard, poured over creamy sandalwood and kissed with saffron. It opens with an intriguing blend of warm spices like nutmeg and clove, softened by the delicate touch of jasmine and a hint of zesty bergamot. As it settles, a rich, milky vanilla and tonka bean emerge, resting on a deep, resinous base of Peru balsam and guaiac wood, creating a scent that's both edible and exquisitely elegant.
