In a nutshell
Description & review snapshotGolden Elixir opens with a warm hit of cinnamon, cognac and nutmeg, then settles into a sweet plum-praline core with dates and dry woods underneath. The overall effect is rich, smooth and clearly gourmand. It wears best in cooler weather, especially evenings or dressier casual settings. If you enjoy deep vanilla-tonka…
Reviews →Aurum by Sentire opens with a heavy splash of rum and cognac poured over sticky, sweet dates. It wraps the wearer in a dense cloak of honeyed tobacco, cinnamon, and warm resins, making it a comforting choice for cold winter nights spent indoors or out.
