Cocoa butter and cold iris, sweetened with rum.
Mandarin and petitgrain lift an opening of cocoa and rum, iris butter and Indian sandalwood hold the middle, and papyrus, vetiver and coffee absolute keep the base from turning to sugar.
Perfumed by: Clément Marx
KSI Take: The extrait reads creamier and rootier than the eau de parfum, and the coffee absolute is what stops it becoming a dessert. Collectors who normally find gourmands cloying should still try it. Anyone hunting cold, carroty orris will find it far too warm.
