A beautiful new release from the British luxury brand. There are some curious reviews of this which for me are way off the mark. When I smell this, my nostrils are filled with the deliciousness of spiced baked goods. It's not just plain ol' vanilla, thankfully. In fact, I'd suggest closer references to something like Sweetie Aoud, thanks to the carb-laden bran note and a subtle oud note in the base, however it's much more wearable and zhuzhy. At times, it feels quite tonka-forward although it's not listed. The perfumer, Celine, says the main ingredient here is cistus absolute, but to me it's imperceptible, although I'm sure it has a distinct effect on the scent generally. For me, the drydown is all yummy, custardy vanilla with thyme and bran which gives it a fairly savoury inflection. I can forgive those for thinking this is not so summery, but to me, it works beautifully on a warm sunny morning paired with a crisp white linen outfit. Really lovely and well worth trying!

This is lovely and comforting. The cardamom gives a relaxing and warm feeling and reminds me a little of almond or marzipan with a soft sweetness.
I love it!!
