Real talk
Himiko sits in the gap between fruity and smoky, too tropical for winter snobs, too resinous for summer brights. If you want safe, look elsewhere. If you want plum that smells like it's been burning.Himiko
The opening spices feel like a warning, then the amber and vanilla arrive and become the reason you stay. It doesn't shout, it whispers, and that whisper is warm amber, vanilla.L'Eau d'Ambre
