What does Vintage '13 smell like?

It opens with Italian bergamot, Madagascar pepper and Madagascan clove, the citrus brightness sharpened by spice. The heart brings Indonesian ginger, Mexican mint and Bourbon vanilla absolute: ginger and mint keep it fresh while the vanilla adds a soft sweetness. Madagascan vetiver, amyris and Indian sandalwood form the base, leaving the scent on a dry, woody footing. Miller Harris Cassis en Feuille and Commodity Bergamot have a close profile.
