Calycanthus Brumae by Acqua di Stresa

*****
Year: 2012

Notes: tiger balm, black pepper, ginger, calycanthus, honeysuckle, nutmeg, frankincense
Opening with a pepper and ginger coupling, a mentholated camphor chord shines through almost immediately. The calycanthus is very apparent but exudes an unmistakable plastic nuance, with the honeysuckle relegated to the background. Emitting a sombre aura, with minimal sweetness, waves of spicy frankincense intensify as its drydown ensues.

Calycanthus Brumae has respectable lasting power and modest sillage.
