The kitchen still smells like the pastry someone pulled out an hour ago, and it suits the room. Orange blossom and bergamot open it bright, with cinnamon and cardamom arriving almost immediately to spice the citrus. Bourbon vanilla is the whole point of the heart, thick and boozy rather than sugary, cut with resinous elemi. Praline, guaiac wood, ambroxan and musk keep the base woody enough to wear to work. For the man who gets stopped in elevators. Cold months, from the morning coffee onward. Announces itself for the first two hours, then lingers close for 8-10 hours. Hand-poured in small batches in Richardson, TX as an Extrait de Parfum with 30% fragrance oils versus the 15-20% typical of an Eau de Parfum, so a little goes a long way. Reach for it on morning errands, long lunches, and days that flow into evenings. Made for our Fall selection.
