An oil take on Penhaligon's The Blazing Mister Sam - the cinnamon-cumin spice blast is there in force, but louder and coarser than the original's more polished skin-warm spice.

About

This roll-on chases Penhaligon's cult spice bomb with a cinnamon-and-cardamom opening that hits harder and faster than the original's more integrated warmth. The cumin note - the character-defining, slightly animalic facet that makes The Blazing Mister Sam distinctive - is present and reasonably faithful, giving this oil real spice authenticity for the price point. The patchouli, tobacco, and vanilla base leans sweeter and simpler than the original's cedar-laced dry-down, and the whole composition reads a shade rougher around the edges. Still, for fans of loud, skin-warm spice fragrances this is a credible cheap thrill.
