Cannelle Excentrique

This fragrance is defined by a heavy warm spicy accord, featuring prominent notes of cinnamon and clove that create a realistic, slightly syrupy apple pie effect. The addition of rum provides an initial boozy kick, while a deep amber base ensures the scent stays rich and resinous on the skin for hours.

The opening is sharp and boozy with a clear rum and saffron hit. As the scent settles on your skin, the harshness fades and the cinnamon and patchouli take over, becoming softer and more rounded. By the end of the day, you are left with a lingering, sweet amber skin scent.

Cannelle Excentrique is a long-lasting fragrance, consistently providing 7 to 9 hours of wear on most skin types. Because it is highly concentrated with spicy notes, it often lasts even longer if applied to clothing, making it a reliable choice for long winter days at the office.

The projection is moderate to strong. It will definitely be noticed within an arm's length radius, especially during the first two hours after application. It is ideal for open settings or outdoor events, but you might want to spray sparingly if you are going to be in a cramped, enclosed workspace.

This is a quintessential cool-weather fragrance. The intense cinnamon and clove notes feel heavy and cloying in high heat, but they shine during autumn and winter. It is perfect for holiday gatherings, crisp outdoor walks, or any occasion where the weather is chilly and you want a comforting scent.

It is a true unisex fragrance. While the rum and patchouli might suggest a classic male-leaning profile, the heavy cinnamon and clove give it a sweetness that feels equally at home on a woman. It depends more on your personal preference for spicy, food-adjacent scents than on any traditional gendered marketing.

If you love spicy, gourmand-adjacent scents, this is a safe prospect, but it is not for everyone. The heavy cinnamon note can be polarizing for those who dislike sweet or kitchen-spice fragrances. I strongly recommend sampling first to see how the rum and amber notes interact with your unique skin chemistry.

It can certainly serve as a signature, especially if you live in a cold climate and adore spicy profiles. However, keep in mind that its intense personality makes it less suitable for hot summer months. You might find it becomes your go-to signature during the colder five months of the year.

This is aimed at fragrance enthusiasts who value complex, evolving scents over simple designer formulas. If you appreciate niche-quality spice blends and do not mind a fragrance that changes significantly throughout the day, this will likely appeal to you more than the average shopper looking for a generic daily wear.

Compared to many sweet designer cinnamon scents, this feels more mature and less like a cheap room spray. It shares some of the warmth found in Oajan, but with a sharper rum edge in the top notes that makes it feel slightly more aggressive and mysterious in its opening phase.
