In the bottle I smell spicy cookies. Strong cinnamon instead of sugar. Very buttery, warm and brown but not quite baked. More like what cookies smell like when you’ve just popped them in the oven. Hot, raw, spicy cookie dough. Not a hint of sugar or vanilla for me.
Stays true for a few seconds after it hits my skin and then the cinnamon heats up with a vengeance and doesn’t let go. My own chemistry apparently amps up and twists the cinnamon and spices in this blend to a level where they overwhelm all the other notes and, sadly, me.
