Starts creamy-aquatic. A musky-soft vanilla note resonates immediately. Gradually, ozonic notes make the fragrance appear clearer. Some freshness also comes through. Thanks to spices and woods, a warming character develops, accented by light floral, rather creamy blossoms. Brittle wood and the salt accord also make the fragrance seem dry. Dry-spicy vanillin with a subtle hint of aquatics. As it progresses, synthetics are unfortunately unmistakable. Initially still relatively well integrated, I occasionally find it disruptive. A razor-thin line to being pungent. In principle, it could be a designer DNA. But at least kept more creative. Drydown then less demanding than expected, as it becomes softer again in the spicy vanilla base.
