Scent story

To me this smells like a London bakery at Christmas, seen through the window on a freezing night — candied almonds and spun sugar fogging the glass, pear tarts cooling on the sill. The lime cuts through the sweetness at the start like a cold wind under the door, keeping it from ever getting cloying. Then it wraps you up: vanilla and tonka like a cashmere scarf, amber glowing underneath, peony adding a soft floral lift that keeps the whole thing from collapsing into pure dessert. The mahogany in the base is the old shop counter, polished by a century of elbows. Sweet, yes — but sweet with structure. Beginner-friendly.
