In a nutshell
Description & review snapshotAphrodite by Mykonos is a warm amber-vanilla extrait with a smoky cinnamon opening, soft jasmine in the background, and a smooth drydown of tonka, sandalwood, tobacco and musk. It wears rich, sweet and resinous rather than airy, with a cozy night-out feel that suits cool weather and lovers of deeper spicy scents.
Reviews →Cuore by Grande opens with tart Clementine and dry saffron, quickly shifting into a dense heart of stewed plum, fig, and dark liquor. As the initial brightness settles, smoky incense and sticky toffee come forward. A heavy base of labdanum amber, tonka bean, and guaiac wood anchors the scent for chilly autumn evenings.
