When I first tested, I really couldn’t place what I was smelling. Sometimes it was a warm spice, sometimes a cool spice. After a few hours a vanilla note would waft up from my wrist, but any time I went in to sniff I was greeted with what seemed like cinnamon (or chestnuts) that were given a cooling effect – and how that was achieved, I have no idea. Looking at the notes, it must be the Santalum Absolute that did this. (I think this is what also eventually gave me a headache.) Longevity is at least 7 hours.
So sweet! Almost too sweet. Decadent dragon’s blood, almost syrupy in nature, with thick chords of gooey vanilla and fuzzy Santalum.
