Coffee and pink pepper hit hard at the open — roasted, slightly bitter, with a crackling spice that keeps it from feeling sweet too early. Anise adds a hazy, almost medicinal edge that softens as orange blossom and jasmine push through the heart, giving it a smoky floral quality rather than anything powdery or clean. The dry-down is where it commits fully to gourmand territory: caramel, vanilla, and cocoa settle into a warm, resinous skin scent with smoke threaded underneath, keeping it from going candy-sweet.
