Memoirs of a Perfume Collector Origins of the Collector | 2ml Sample

Espresso and caramel pulled dark through frankincense smoke.

Olibanum opens sharp and resinous, then black espresso, patchouli and caramel arrive, and the whole thing settles onto vanilla, Peru balsam, amber, ambrette and musk.

Perfumed by: Harry Sherwood

KSI Take: A gourmand that keeps its teeth, thanks to the incense up top and the balsam underneath. The caramel is burnt sugar rather than confectionery, though sweetness still builds as it wears, so this is a cold evening scent and not a desk one.
