What does Adam's Lament smell like?
The notes read as one whole rather than in stages: Tahitian vanilla, Bourbon vanilla, vanilla absolute and vanilla orchid form the core of the scent. Madagascar pepper and Madagascan pink pepper give the sweetness a spicy edge. Mysore sandalwood and sandalwood absolute settle the creamy texture onto a woody, slightly resinous base, while earthy and floral touches stay in the background.
