The opening: amaretto with a brighter edge
Amaretto suggests a sweet, almond-like liqueur character. Bergamot brings a citrus contrast, while saffron introduces a warm spicy facet. The combination points towards a rounded gourmand opening rather than a purely sugary vanilla. These are fragrance notes describing an impression, not a declaration that the perfume contains an edible drink.
The heart: praline, blossom and spice
Praline carries the nutty sweetness into the middle of the profile. Orange blossom adds a floral element alongside cinnamon and cardamom. When sampling, ask whether you enjoy this balance: some wearers look for dessert-like richness, while others prefer the spice and floral character to be more noticeable.
The base: vanilla meets wood
Bourbon vanilla, Ambrox Super and guaiac wood form the listed base. Vanilla supplies the comforting gourmand theme, while the woody and ambery facets give it a broader finish. Notes overlap on skin; a top–heart–base pyramid is a useful description, not a stopwatch telling you exactly when each note will appear.
How to explore its development
Try a modest application on clean skin and revisit it after the initial spray has settled. Compare how much sweetness, spice and wood you notice later in the wear. Avoid testing several strongly scented products together if your aim is to understand this fragrance on its own. For a less gourmand direction within the new releases, Will Power pairs vanilla with leather and aromatic notes.
