Red Wine Brown Sugar

This fragrance smells like a fine dessert wine, rich, slightly dense and gently enveloping. It opens with sweet fruits blended with a distinct red wine accord. It instantly brings to mind the end of summer, my grandmother’s kitchen, and a large demijohn where my grandfather used to make homemade blackberry wine, a warm, slightly nostalgic memory. As the scent develops, patchouli, woody notes, leather and sugar emerge, adding depth and giving the base a more refined, slightly masculine edge. Unfortunately, on my skin it lasts no more than about three hours, with rather moderate projection. It’s a truly beautiful composition, but it definitely lacks longevity.
