Woody cacao with a twist

Early on, the corn silk shines. Sniffing blind, I thought it was hay—golden, earthy, grassy, somewhat herbal. Really interesting note, with bitter cacao and dry wood beneath it.

Later, it’s all about the cacao and wood. Sillage is transparent woody, cashmere-esque? It’s not iso e super. There are vanilla and tobacco nuances giving the scent a lot of warmth and mild sweetness, but I wouldn’t say it’s gourmand.

Casual, easygoing vibe. The balsamic woodiness feels like a crowd pleaser but the corn silk gives it a niche twist.
