Smoky Dark Vanilla opens with an intense blast of birch tar, pine tree needles, and dark rum. As the initial sharp soot settles, Madagascar vanilla and sweet cinnamon emerge, softening the heavy leather notes underneath. The dry down turns dry and woody, combining tobacco leaves with herbal sage and a subtle touch of ylang-ylang. It wears best during freezing winter evenings, outdoor bonfire gatherings, or crisp autumn nights when cool air cuts through the thick resinous smoke. The overall texture sits between sticky confectionery syrup and industrial creosote. Show less

It opens with an unapologetic surge of sharp French lavender, bitter wormwood, and peppery basil that clears your sinuses immediately.
