Cliché
Fragrance notes
Character
Clove-pink carnation meets bright bergamot and a sharp lemon lift at the very start, while caramel and ginger add a sticky, heated glow. Cinnamon sits right at the surface, more bark than candy, giving the opening a kitchen-spice warmth that feels immediate and unapologetic.
Grapefruit slices through the middle with a bitter edge, stopping the sugar from becoming flat. Coriander brings a green, slightly peppery ripple, and tobacco lends a dry, faintly rustled-leaf texture that keeps the heart from leaning fully into dessert.
Tolu balsam and tonka bean settle in with vanilla and elemi, creating a resinous, amber-heavy foundation that feels polished rather than messy. The cinnamon returns here, softer now, wrapped in wood and a fine powdery haze that sits close to the skin.
Picture a heavy wool coat thrown over a silk blouse while cold air fogs the windows of a dim café. Cliché suits someone who enjoys spice and resin without needing to smell airy or modern. It is not for those who reach for clean citrus or sheer florals. The final impression is vanilla and amber.
