The take

What works

  • Toffee-lavender-patchouli combo is sweet and distinctively gourmand-aromatic
  • Excellent compliment credentials at a fair mid-tier price
  • More wearable than most gourmands — fall and winter sweet spot

Trade-offs

  • Toffee sweetness divides opinion — not subtle about what it is
  • Longevity is average for an EDT in this weight class
