Review of Annicke 5 by Marta Regina Jabłońska

The opening notes reminded me of a non-alcoholic rum-flavored syrup that was sometimes used to sweeten tea when I was a child. Sweet, sugary, almost sticky notes, yet at the same time warm and comforting, bringing a sense of relaxation. However, let this introduction not give the impression that Annicke 5 is a trivially linear gourmand. Although it does not evolve dramatically, it is multifaceted, and from time to time that complexity reveals itself. As the fragrance unfolds, the rum nuances gradually give way to a more general impression of enveloping sweetness. Warm, comforting, and long-lasting, it offers a projection that remains perceptible for many hours. While it wore surprisingly well on a day with temperatures around 30°C and a stormy atmosphere in the air, I can most easily imagine it as a fragrance for the colder months.
