Here's the much-anticipated blotter update...

Let me be clear: I do not consider this to be a 'cold' scent. Compared to other perfumes, it is most definitely on the warm side of the spectrum, which is where you'd expect it to be. However, compared to other Shalimars, it is possessed of an unmistakable chilliness, which is what makes it fascinating. Thanks to the sharp, bitter-almond personality of the tonka bean, the ambery base feels as though it's popped into a patisserie in Norway before coming to see us, bringing with it some bracing, northern breezes. A surprising, must-try take on a classic.
