Insomnia
Fragrance notes
Character
Insomnia opens with a boozy, almost reckless blast of chocolate and rum, sticky caramel clinging to the edges before coffee cuts through with a bitter, roasted jolt. The ylang-ylang in the heart doesn’t go tropical, instead it powders the sweetness into something more somber, a floral whisper against the caffeine buzz. As it dries down, the Tahitian vanilla melts into sandalwood and cedar, while patchouli adds a dark, earthy anchor. The overall picture is a velvet-lined midnight kitchen, a half-empty bottle of dark rum on the counter and a cooling espresso next to a slice of chocolate cake. This is sweet and heavy, leaning more synthetic in its candied opening but eventually settling into a plush, natural-feeling warmth. It skews niche in intent but wears like an elevated mainstream gourmand. The longevity is solid, easily six to seven hours, though the sillage stays close after the first hour, a polite rather than demanding presence. This one is for the night owls, the ones who crave comfort in the small hours. Skip it if you shy away from dessert-like scents or want something airy for a hot afternoon. Wear it when the wind bites and the world is asleep, a companion for late dinners, lonely walks home, or simply staring at the ceiling until dawn.
