A cold aromatic laid over something dark and sweet.

Charred Vanilla opens sharp. Pink pepper, juniper, a dusty edge of violet. Lavender takes the heart and holds it, dry and almost bitter, with sage keeping it herbal rather than soapy. Cinnamon and a thread of toffee run underneath, just enough to stop it turning clinical. The vanilla is not the subject here. It waits in the base with tonka, amber and suede, and only surfaces hours in, darker than it started.

Loud without being sweet.
