I smell like someone eating honey cakes while repairing a road and I love it

Calling this a 'gourmand' because it has honey and cinnamon notes is unkind both to this perfume and to gourmands. This is something wonderful and unique.
On me this fragrance starts as 'fresh tarmac but sweet' and dries down into a kind of smokey, herbacious sweetness with yes, a strong tarmac background.
It's kind of dizzying and intoxicating.
The honey never leaves, it just becomes softer and a little powdery. It's never a super sugary honey note. It's kind of wild and rich. The other notes ground it and stop ut from being tooth-aching.
To me this smells almost post-apocalyptically pagan, like strange rituals combining industrial and natural materials, burning both on a bonfire for good fortune.
It's unbelievably expensive. It costs nearly £100 for 10mls. I want a full size. This would do well as an 'on the scarf' scent.
