Peated 泥煤

While not entirely the same, this feels like an elevated version of By the Fireplace. The carnation used here has a unique green olive undertone that blends so beautifully with the whiskey, oak, and vanilla. It has the perfect amount of malt and smoke to add intrigue instead of overwhelm. Sandalwood helps temper the oak tannins by rounding it out into a smoother, creamy wood. The sparing use of tonka and ambrette help pad the base, positioning this as an approachable gourmand without the sickening sweetness that plagues many of today’s releases. This is by far the best winter scent I’ve smelled in a LONG time. Absolute perfection, no notes. This brand is very quickly growing on me!
