Scent Journey

1
Opening 0-30 min

The first spray is a burst of amaretto and coffee, with a boozy, slightly bitter edge that immediately signals gourmand territory. The coffee note is robust, almost roasted, while the amaretto adds a sweet, nutty almond twist.

2
Heart 1-2 hrs

As the fragrance settles, the heart emerges with creamy ice cream, vanilla, and biscuit. The sweetness becomes more pronounced, but it's balanced by the warmth of the spices. The coffee recedes slightly, allowing the dessert-like accord to shine.

3
Drydown 4+ hrs

In the drydown, the base notes of vanilla, brown sugar, and amber take center stage. The fragrance becomes softer, more intimate, with a lingering sweetness that's comforting and cozy. The amber adds a subtle resinous depth that prevents it from being too cloying.
