That anise note cuts through the sweetness right at the start, making it feel more sophisticated than a typical gourmand. The dry down settles into a cozy, warm vanilla and musk that lasts a solid workday on my skin.

The anise opening caught me off guard at first but it settles into the creamiest almond-vanilla within twenty minutes. On my skin it lasts a solid eight hours, which is rare for a gourmand. I've already gone through half the bottle.
