Side by side
Comparing the originals — price, breadth, listed-note depth.
Pistachio and hazelnut hit immediately — rich, slightly sweet, unmistakably nutty without tipping into syrup. Cardamom and bergamot keep the opening from going full dessert, adding a dry, spiced lift. In the heart, jasmine and peony soften things without dominating, while white peach and raspberry add a quiet fruitiness underneath. The dry-down is where it settles into its real identity: marshmallow and tonka bean pull warm and cozy, sandalwood and cedar ground it, cocoa darkens the edges. Projection is moderate, sillage skin-close by hour four — a personal fragrance rather than a room-filler. — Best in fall and winter; ideal for anyone who wants a dressed-up gourmand that reads sophisticated rather than candied.
Opens with a sharp, almost medicinal black cherry shot, bergamot pulling it just bright enough to keep it from going full candy. The heart softens considerably as rose damascena and jasmine sambac warm the cherry into something more rounded and skin-close, with raspberry adding a diffuse juicy backdrop rather than a distinct note. The dry-down is where the "burning" earns its name — a low smoky undercurrent settles beneath the florals, giving the sweetness real edge. Projection is moderate, sillage intimate but persistent. — Dark autumn evenings, date-night wear, suited to anyone who wants sweetness with actual teeth.
