Very cozy, warm gourmand, and definitely a fall/winter scent. This might be too cloying for some, but a definite love for all the vanilla gourmand lovers! I can’t compare to EG, but this is a baker’s delight! It’s sweet but soft at the same time. Reminds me of Eclaire/Bianco Latte but very toffee and caramel forward in the dry down. The anise and licorice notes are there but only noticeable when you’re really looking for it. These notes help balance this out from going too cloyingly sweet for me. Eclaire gave me a massive headache so had to give it away - I’m so happy this one didn’t get heady for me. Happy with this blind buy!
