It reads as a single whole: sandalwood and false sandalwood form a woody spine, tonka bean sweetens it, and rose softens the edges. Espresso and cigarette add a smoky, roasted edge. Among the accords, the sweet, spicy and resinous sides lead, while the animal and leathery tones stay in the background and keep the scent dark and warm. It suits anyone who likes sweetness and smoke together.
