Opens with a boozy cognac hit that's warm and rounded rather than sharp — less bar cart, more the inside of an aged oak barrel. The vanilla arrives quickly, softening the alcohol edge into something almost edible, while leather keeps it from tipping into pure dessert territory. The dry-down is smooth and amber-rich, projecting at a moderate, intimate level with a sillage that clings close without demanding attention. Complexity is the point here — it earns the price by layering each note deliberately — Fall and winter evenings; suits adults who want gourmand without sweetness overload.
