What it smells like, per the note list
The notes as listed: top: Cognac; heart: Cinnamon, Oak, Tonka Bean; base: Praline, Vanilla, Sandalwood.
The notes are cognac, then cinnamon, oak and tonka bean, then praline, vanilla and sandalwood. Wearers commonly describe it as dessert in a bottle, boozy and warm. It is a Dickensian Christmas scene with better lighting.

Worth it if: you want sweet, boozy warmth for cold months and like a scent that reads like a holiday party.
Pass if: you want something light for summer, or you are not a dessert-scent person.
