What does Spéculoos / Le Spéculoos (Parfum) smell like?

It opens with biscuit and cardamom, the cardamom adding a light spicy edge to the sweetness. The heart brings ginger, clove and cinnamon, and the scent turns warm, like something fresh from the oven. The base settles on vanilla and nutmeg: vanilla pulls everything into a creamy sweetness while nutmeg keeps the spice in the background. The accords are sweet, gourmand, spicy and creamy, with no dry or woody side to speak of.

It reads as an edible, unisex profile. Jo Malone Ginger Biscuit and Theodoros Kalotinis Gingerbread Dough have a close profile.
