What does A Cardamom Affair smell like?

Its sillage is rated good, and most voters score it high, though the vote count is small, so that leaning is tentative. It reads as unisex, with a sweet, spicy, oriental character that feels warm and dense.

The notes come across as one blend: cardamom and pink pepper bring spice, softened by the creamy sweetness of vanilla and milk. Suede and sandalwood give a leathery, woody base, while brandy adds a warm, boozy edge. Powdery and creamy accords keep the sweetness rounded.
