Liqueur des Ombres

To my nose, this leans more toward tobacco leaf than a typical gourmand, though there is no tobacco in the pyramid at all. The opening has a gentle boozy touch, but it’s not loud or syrupy - instead, it feels smooth and slightly restrained. The sweetness is there, though it stays in the background, never turning into a dessert-like fragrance. As it develops, the tobacco becomes more noticeable - soft, slightly dry, and a bit earthy, rather than smoky or harsh. The boozy nuance blends into the composition rather than standing out, giving the scent a warm, rounded character. There’s also a subtle creamy undertone, likely from vanilla, that smooths everything out without making it overly sweet. Overall, this is less of a “liquid dessert” gourmand and more of a refined, tobacco-leaning oriental with a hint of liqueur. It feels calm, elegant, and slightly introspective - something I would wear in the evening or warmer weather when I want a scent that’s cozy but not overpowering. Sometimes I overlay it with a perfume with jasmine or chocolate notes, and it transforms beautifully, the jasmine bringing a luminous softness, while chocolate wraps the composition in a darker, velvety warmth

The dry down is to die for!! Absolutely amazing cedar and vanilla...I can't get enough..I can feel a pine note at the beginning and a bit of plum and then it settles and it feels so natural like no synthetic ingredients were used.. it's amazing..highly recommend
