“To stage this unusual love at first sight, AFFINESSENCE has married two qualities of VANILLA (Madagascar Absolute, with leathery and intensely perfumed accents, and Tahitian Absolute, more mellow) which it has combined with a precious alter ego: Siamese BENZOIN, an aromatic gum from Laos highly prized for its balmy, almondy notes. While AMBROXAN, enveloped in TONKA BEAN and Moroccan and Chinese CEDAR, distills its carnal effluvia, BENZOIN transcends VANILLA with its intoxicating notes, as if to better diffuse its captivating sillage.”
