Wonder and love and great sorrow shook Schmendrick the Magician then, and came together inside him, and filled him, filled him until he felt himself brimming and flowing with something that was none of these. He did not believe it, but it came to him anyway, as it had touched him twice before and left him more barren than he had been. This time, there was too much of it for him to hold: it spilled through his skin, sprang from his fingers and toes, welled up equally in his eyes and his hair and the hollows of his shoulders. There was too much to hold, too much ever to use; and still he found himself weeping with the pain of his impossible greed. He thought, or said, or sang, I did not know that I was so empty, to be so full;.
Unexplored potential: sweet, raw tobacco leaves, chamomile, clary sage, meadow sage, Mysore sandalwood, sultana raisins, and 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!
