A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
Almond and lemon blossom fizz brightly, almost confectionery-sweet, with palm leaf adding a momentary green snap. The lemon appears prominently here before the creaminess begins its inevitable creep inward, creating an odd pastry-cream effect within the first five minutes.
Vanilla and creamy notes swell as the citrus fades, whilst that sour milk note emerges with peculiar charm—it's fermented, biscuity, almost sourdough-adjacent. White musk and sandalwood create a soft, powdery bed beneath, with the heart settling into a warm, baked-goods sweetness that feels genuinely comforting rather than cloying.
Within two hours, projection collapses entirely; what remains is a gentle skin scent of creamy vanilla and soft sandalwood, the sour milk note barely perceptible now. By the fourth hour, it's essentially vanished, leaving only a whisper of musk and biscuit-like warmth that dissipates within minutes.
Coffee & Whiskey arrives as a peculiar contradiction—a fragrance that trades on its name's promise of boozy warmth and roasted depth whilst delivering something altogether more delicate and perplexing. The almond and lemon blossom opening suggests pastry shop brightness rather than anything approaching a whiskey bar, though there's a subtle nuttiness that gestures toward coffee's roasted character without ever truly committing to it. What emerges instead is a creamy, almost dessert-like composition where vanilla and that curious "Zorplox" note (likely a trademarked creamy-musky material) create a soft, almost powdery sweetness that dominates the fragrance's personality.
The heart reveals the most interesting tension: white musk and sandalwood form a surprisingly soft base, whilst that "sour milk" note—whether intentional or a degradation byproduct—lends an unusual sourdough-like tang to the vanilla sweetness. It's oddly biscuity, reminiscent of warm shortbread left to cool. Palm leaf adds a whisper of green aquatic freshness, preventing the composition from cloying entirely, though the creamy, sweet accords (100% and 76% respectively) ensure this remains decidedly gourmand rather than aromatic.
