Fragrance structure
How it develops
It opens bright and slightly effervescent, orange and lemon cut with pink pepper so the sweetness arrives lifted rather than syrupy. That citrus burns off quickly and rum takes over, boozy and softened by cardamom, with cocoa arriving dry and faintly bitter to keep the whole thing from tipping into dessert. The last act belongs to bourbon vanilla, propped up on sandalwood and patchouli that give the sweetness a floor and a shadow.
