Pretty As Poison

Bitter almond snaps open with dark fruit—plum and black cherry colliding in a bruised, almost fermented sweetness. The heart softens into a rose-tinged liquor note, honeyed and intoxicating, before Ceylon cinnamon and tonka bean warm the base into spiced amber. Vanilla absolute rounds the drydown, creamy and slightly powdered, the initial sharpness long gone. What lingers is soft cinnamon and tonka's caramel-almond warmth against skin.
