Our take

The bar is dim, lit only by the amber glow of bottles stacked behind the counter. A glass sits nearby, filled with dark cherry and a splash of liquor that smells like it has been soaking almonds overnight. I Want lives in that glass. The bitter almond cuts through the fruit, keeping the cherry from becoming a candy shop. Plum adds a heavy roundness that makes the air feel thick.

Turkish rose floats above the fruit, not bright but velvet dark, while jasmine sambac gives the drink a floral lift that feels almost fizzy. You lean in and catch the warmth of cinnamon and cloves swirling through the sweetness. Sandalwood grounds the moment, a smooth wood that keeps the scent from floating away too fast.

The vanilla and tonka bean wrap around the spices, creating a balsamic warmth that feels like sitting in a velvet chair with a heavy drink in hand. Benzoin and Peru balsam add a resinous depth that makes the air smell expensive. The scent stays near, moving with you as you reach for the glass, never shouting across the room.

Vetiver and cedar add a dry edge to the base, but the patchouli here feels muddy against the clean almond. The blend becomes a bit cluttered as the minutes pass, losing the sharp opening that made the first breath so inviting.

Smells similar

We matched these by the notes each one lists, giving more weight to the unusual ones they share. Sharing materials does not make one a copy of the other.
