What it smells like, per the note list
The notes as listed: top: Tobacco leaf, Spicy notes; heart: Vanilla, Cacao, Tonka bean, Tobacco blossom; base: Dried fruits, Woody notes.
The note list is tobacco leaf and spice, then vanilla, cacao, tonka and tobacco blossom, over dried fruit and woods. Wearers commonly describe it as warm, sweet and heavy, a cold-weather scent. It is a lot in July.
Who it's worth it for, and who should pass
Worth it if: you want sweet tobacco and vanilla for cold weather and like a scent that announces itself. Fireplace, wool coat, gloves you will lose by February.
Pass if: you live somewhere warm year-round, or you find sweet scents cloying.
