What does Bread in Chestnut smell like?

Chestnut and cardamom come forward, while patchouli and New Caledonian sandalwood build a woody base, with frankincense and Siam benzoin adding resinous warmth. Tonka bean absolute carries it into a creamy sweetness, and Tunisian rosemary and French bran absolute give it a spicy, faintly smoky depth.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and leisure time. Votes for masculine and feminine are almost level, so it sits comfortably between the two.
