An unusual opening: cognac with oakmoss and seaweed, so it starts boozy and slightly salty rather than fresh. Cinnamon, agarwood and orange blossom follow, and the base turns sweet on praline, tonka bean and sandalwood. Woody with a dessert edge at the end.

Notes. Top: cognac, oakmoss, seaweed. Heart: cinnamon, agarwood, orange blossom. Base: praline, tonka bean, sandalwood.
