A smoky gourmand — chestnut, cedarwood, smoky vetiver.
Smoked Chestnut opens with roasted chestnut — nutty, creamy and warm, closer to hot food than dessert, which is exactly what makes it interesting. Cedarwood sits in the middle and dries things out, adding a clean woody structure that stops the nuttiness turning heavy or cloying. Smoky vetiver finishes it off with a proper open-fire quality, earthy and slightly charred, giving real depth to what could otherwise be a simple food note. This is a gourmand for customers who’ve had enough of vanilla and sugar — an obvious fit for autumn, Bonfire Night and Christmas ranges.
