Our take

Pi Original Code opens with a snap of mandarin orange that meets rosemary and tarragon. Basil adds a green edge to the citrus, though the top notes step aside quickly.

The heart is where the fragrance settles into its true shape. Vanilla and almond form a dense, creamy core that feels warm and slightly powdery. Tonka bean and benzoin deepen that sweetness until it reads as amber, while cedar provides a dry, straight line through the center. This blend stays present for a good while and announces itself clearly in a room. It suits cooler weather and evening plans, wrapping the wearer in a gourmand, resinous cloud that feels deliberate and composed.

The almond here is not a sharp marzipan. It is a soft, rounded nuttiness that sits beside the vanilla like a stone resting at the bottom of a bowl of cream.
