La Fede Intoxicate Blue Elixir

The start is cool and aromatic, with lavender and a breath of mint. Before long, vanilla and honey move in, and the scent turns smooth and golden. The base brings more honey alongside tonka bean and tobacco, a warm, slightly dry pairing that gives the sweetness some depth and keeps it from feeling too much.

The character is warm, sensual and quietly addictive. Rated at eight to ten hours, it is made for autumn and winter. Wear it for evenings and night occasions, dinners, drinks and late plans, where the honey and tobacco come into their own. It is rich enough for dressing up, yet soft enough for a quiet night in.
