Laprade opens the fragrance with roasted chestnut and grapefruit zest over labdanum, folds in a crème brûlée heart, and finishes on sandalwood, suede, and caramel. She's described the effect as a deliberate contrast between \"familiar, comforting sweetness\" and \"luxurious, elevated ingredients\": gourmand, but grown-up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eScent Character\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWoody\u003c\/strong\u003e: 44%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAmbery\/Resinous\u003c\/strong\u003e: 22%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSweet\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFloral\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFresh\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTranslation: toasted, caramelized woods and chestnut warmth wrapped in labdanum amber and soft suede.
