La Collection D’antiquites 1886

Bergamot gives a zesty first impression, while mate adds an unusual, herbal undertone. The heart is spiced and soft at once: cinnamon bark warms, jasmine adds elegance, orris a powdery refinement and tonka beans a creamy sweetness, with bran bringing a toasted, grainy twist. In the base, vanilla, white musk and white chocolate turn indulgent, while white tobacco and patchouli add depth.

Classic in spirit but modern in its details, it is a warm, comforting perfume for men who like sweetness with substance. Wear it in the evening, to dinner or a gathering with friends, or whenever a softer, warmer scent appeals more than something sharp.
