Real talk
The vanilla doesn't behave. It leans earthy, almost dusty, not the clean gourmand you'll find in every celebrity release. Paired with Indian patchouli's dark character, this is sweetness with an edge.Gothic I
It is sweet. It is warm. It wears like a cashmere blanket doused in rum. The vanilla-rum interplay is not subtle, but it works. If you want restraint, look elsewhere. This is unabashed indulgence.Van Py Rhum
