My most-reached-for
Rich, rounded and almost edible without being food. What holds it together is the Cinnamon, which never collapses into sweetness.

A proper statement
This replaced two older favourites in my rotation. It shifts character between the first hour and the fourth, the Saffron emerging late. My most complimented scent, quietly and consistently.

Grown-up luxury
A friend borrowed it and then bought her own. The sillage draws people in rather than announcing them. I detect a faint saltiness in the middle that I love.

Compliments, repeatedly
It arrived sealed and pristine. The Saffron gives it a live, almost green quality. It dries down to something quiet and warm that lasts for hours.
