Crown Jewel

This one gives me real "by the fireplace" vibes, but greatly elevated. The smokey nuances that I pick up are a bit of a mystery though as I can't see anything obvious mentioned in the notes 🤔 I do get a wonderful saffron and peppery opening, sharp to the nose. I did bury it a little too close upon application resulting in a sneeze or two 😂 The heart is really where this fragrance sings however, with warmth emanating from the amber, some dryness from the woods - but also a real culinary touch from caramel, cardamom and vanilla. The dry-down is also just as cosy, with some creaminess from sandalwood mixing with the heart. Although slightly less dynamic and with moderate longevity on my skin (6+hr) - This is the kind of fragrance that has you dreaming of sitting by the window on a rainy day with a hot drink in hand and a fireplace in the corner... Absolute bliss!
