What does Bal Baroque smell like?

The overall feel is gourmand and oriental: dark chocolate, rum and vanilla bring the sweetness, while raspberry adds a faint fruity edge. Damask rose and saffron give a floral, spicy warmth. Oak wood, oud, patchouli and tobacco add a smoky, resinous, leathery depth, with black frankincense reinforcing the resin. Powdery and creamy tones soften the heavier materials, and a faint animal trace stays in the background.
