Wearing Black Vines by Kerosene

Vines is ok. It opens with licorice and herbal anise, which makes this not a safe blind buy unless you know you like these notes. It dries down to spiced vanilla, a bit gingerbread.

It's a rep for being polarizing / not office safe. Ho hum. The sillage is a tad disappointing, so I wouldn't be too concerned about that.

I know I like licorice, but this isn't my favourite. That's probably Audace (or the sadly DC'd Jasmine Noir).

I'll give it a few more wears this winter. I don't get any fig in it and I am not sure what ivy smells like particularly, so more to sniff out here.
