Now winter nights enlarge
The number of their hours,
And clouds their storms discharge
Upon the airy towers.
Let now the chimneys blaze,
And cups o’erflow with wine;
Let well-tuned words amaze
With harmony divine.
Now yellow waxen lights
Shall wait on honey love,
While youthful revels, masques, and courtly sights
Sleep’s leaden spells remove.
This time doth well dispense
With lovers’ long discourse;
Much speech hath some defence,
Though beauty no remorse.
All do not all things well;
Some measures comely tread,
Some knotted riddles tell,
Some poems smoothly read.
The summer hath his joys
And winter his delights;
Though love and all his pleasures are but toys,
They shorten tedious nights.
Shorten those tedious nights with a surge of body heat: vanilla-infused red musk, champaca, petitgrain, ylang ylang, patchouli, nutmeg, honey, galbanum, and traces of caramel.

Definitely smells like toasty chestnuts, with heavy smokey caramel vanilla. This would be more of a fall/winter gourmand lover’s scent.. feels very heavy to wear in the spring or summer, but perfect for fall. I’m gonna let this one age for next fall/winter!

Yet another knockout perfume for the gourmand lover! Sweet, dreamy and creamy vanilla musk in the bottle. Once on, the caramel and earthy chestnut begin to make themselves known and temper the overwhelming vanilla-ness. It finishes with a subtle hint of cardamom that reminds me of snickerdoodle cookies cooling. I can’t wait to see how this one ages!
