Throughout the dry down process, I do notice hints of clove that tend to reappear and fade away throughout the day before it finally settles into a warm, woody base. You greeted me with thick clouds of smoke, not a sooty icky one but intrusive enough that I quickly passed on the few milliliters of you. In conclusion, I would like to say again: I have rarely been so much ingested by a fragrance right from the first spray. To my nose, it is lighter than By the Fireplace, and the smokiness and musk are still quite apparent. When I sprayed it, I noticed a much more robust, sweet vanilla top note that carries much longer than By the Fireplace.

Vanilla and also Cashmeran embed themselves here unbelievably well, without cheating themselves into the foreground. The intensity of the smokiness of this scent lessens after some time, but the scent holds well and I love to wear it in the warmer months as well as colder.

The respective tent with the most minus points in terms of cleanliness had to add the boys' and girls' thunder beams at the end of the camp. I do enjoy the rollerball format, as it is pretty helpful for discreet reapplication throughout the day. When we are together, my heart leaps, my nose rejoices at your spicy smokiness and luscious caramel vanilla, and my skin craves your warmth.

By The Fireplace is different for being rich and complex but also simple and satisfying like a big hug from a favourite relative. I knew I’d like this perfume from the description and when it arrived I was not disappointed… the first spray is like WOW have I set something on fire but then it dries down to a beautiful, complex, woody scent. Usually scents that engage with these adjectives end up overly simple and going down the lactonic musk route. I have tested Jazz Club, which may also be bought and the women's fragrance Lipstick on, which is also great.It was between this and “jazz club” and “by the fireside” has just topped it because it’s so unusual.

To my nose, Drowning in Vanilla features a much more floral opening with strong notes of Turkish rose, followed closely by soft herbal notes of ginger and cardamom before settling into a familiar base of amber and musk. Each scent story that can be pulled from its architecture is clearly articulated but also made coherent under a glossy vanilla blanket that comes off as a uniting glue rather than a lazy afterthought. Maybe, but perfumes and perfume samples is something we are expert-level at, so we’ll stay the bold course.
