Reading the scent profile

The four-vanilla accord gives the scent a dense, sweet warmth, while coffee and white flowers add contrast. Expect a gourmand direction with a soft floral edge; the balance may vary on skin and in different weather.

Who might enjoy it?

It may appeal to fans of rich vanilla and coffee who want a sweeter, more enveloping Black Opium. Try a light application if dense gourmand scents feel heavy.
