I kept this tucked away for 23 years, forgetting about it due to its poor performance, but last night when I finally used it again, the aging process has turned it into a beast: now it projects intensely and clings to my flannel shirt. Perfect for cold or rainy days; that blend of cinnamon and pepper is so sharp it might overwhelm some, but I absolutely love it. It’s the perfect balance between casual and elegant. Too bad it’s discontinued since I only have 10% of the bottle left, but I’d buy it again without hesitation.

I have an old bottle that, due to all the aging, I think has improved significantly, though I’m not sure how it would compare to a fresh one bought today. It has a very strong cinnamon and spice scent. When I first bought it, it didn’t last at all, so I left it in a corner, but every time I find it and use it, it turns out to be quite unique.
