CreamyWhat does After Effect smell like?
The whole composition is warm and dense: cinnamon and saffron bring spiced heat, while rum and tobacco give it a sweet, gourmand body. Sandalwood lays down a woody, creamy base, and hedione softens the heavy mix a little.
Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick winter and fall, and evenings or nights out. It reads closer to masculine, though it is unisex. Initio Side Effect and Niche 4 All Vanilla Rum have a close profile.
