What does Plum in Cognac smell like?

Rum absolute, plum and vanilla form the sweet, ripe-fruit core of the scent, while cinnamon and immortelle absolute add a spicy, faintly smoky warmth. Peru balsam and cistus bring a resinous softness, and Haitian vetiver and osmanthus round it out with woody and floral touches.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters recommend fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. More voters call it masculine than feminine, though the feminine vote is far from small. Scents of Wood Plum in Cognac Vintage 24 and Weil Suki Essence have a close profile.
