Cognac and cinnamon settle into candied almond and vanilla.
Cognac opens warm and boozy, and cinnamon, tonka bean and oak quickly turn it into a spiced, slightly woody gourmand. Vanilla, praline, sandalwood and candied almond carry the drydown, sweet enough that it edges toward dessert rather than staying purely boozy.
Perfumed by: Benoist Lapouza
Released: 2020
KSI Take: It leans sweeter than most cognac fragrances and can read cloying or generic if your skin runs warm, so it is a poor pick if you want something dry or restrained. Wear it in cold weather, at night, where the praline and candied almond read rich instead of like a scented candle.
