Perfumer Laure Breysse (Symrise) calls it \"a refined take on the fruity gourmand, blending the elegance of dry plum with creamy sandalwood and rich vanilla for a deeply addictive warmth.\" Green apple, nougat, and hazelnut open with a boozy brightness, black plum and Bulgarian rose add elegance through the heart, and a base of oak barrel, vanilla bourbon, sandalwood oil, and amber grounds it in a rich, woody smokiness that evokes aged spirits. The overall effect is celebratory and confident, a fragrance that tells a story rather than just smelling pleasant.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eScent Character\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eSweet (nougat, vanilla bourbon, plum): 51%\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWoody (oak barrel, sandalwood): 13%\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFloral (Bulgarian rose): 12%\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFresh (green apple): 12%\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSpicy (cinnamon bark): 12%\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTranslation:\u003c\/strong\u003e An addictive fruity-gourmand where warm vanilla and boozy oak barrel dominate, with just enough rose and cinnamon to keep it from tipping into pure dessert.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFragrance Pyramid\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Green Apple, Nougat, Hazelnut\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeart:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black Plum, Bulgarian Rose, Cinnamon Bark\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oak Barrel, Vanilla Bourbon, Sandalwood Oil, Amber\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePerformance\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLongevity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent.
