Composed by Hamid Merati-Kashani and Ilias Ermenidis, it's a modern woody-vanilla-amber fragrance: cinnamon, orange blossom, and cardamom open bright, Bourbon vanilla and elemi resin warm the heart, and a base of praline, ambroxan, guaiac wood, and musk closes it into a smooth gourmand-woody dry-down.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eScent Character\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eGourmand \/ Sweet (Vanilla, Praline) — 40%\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWoody \u0026amp; Ambery (Guaiac Wood, Ambroxan) — 30%\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSpicy (Cinnamon, Cardamom) — 20%\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFresh Floral (Orange Blossom, Bergamot) — 10%\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTranslation:\u003c\/strong\u003e a cozy, crowd-pleasing vanilla-amber that leans more \"refined dessert\" than sugary.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFragrance Pyramid\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cinnamon, Orange Blossom, Cardamom, Bergamot\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeart:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bourbon Vanilla, Elemi Resin\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Praline, Ambroxan, Guaiac Wood, Musk\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePerformance\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLongevity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very good — the vanilla-ambroxan base typically holds 6 to 8 hours on skin.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSillage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate to strong, especially in the first two hours.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProjection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warm and enveloping rather than sharp, settling into an easy-to-wear skin scent by the dry-down.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eBest Occasions \u0026amp; Season\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eFall and Winter.
