What does 1270 smell like?

The top is led by raisin, cocoa, coffee and hazelnut, with candied bitter orange peel adding a slight edge to the sweetness. Linden tree, pepper and spices move into the heart and dry the fruity sweetness. The base of white honey, vanilla and gaiac wood leaves a warm, woody, resinous finish.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is chosen most often for evenings and nights out. Feminine and masculine votes run close, so it reads as suited to either.
