Out of the winter cold into the bar
My first thought with Île Bourbon: Wow, I have never smelled anything like this before. I am still at the beginning with niche fragrances, but here I clearly perceive chocolate, vanilla, and cinnamon. Added to that is this warm, boozy impression that reminds me of bourbon. To me, very masculine and extraordinary. Throughout the day, I also find it distinctly sweet. The longevity impresses me. It feels like it could be the longest-lasting of the fragrances I've tested so far, though I'm not completely sure yet. I sprayed again in the late afternoon. My image of it: bitter cold, crisp winter air, and an afternoon walk. In the evening, I stop by a dark, sophisticated cocktail bar. Heavy leather seats, candlelight, jazz, and blues. Lively, yet still calm and pleasant. A wonderful winter fragrance that I really enjoy smelling.
