Review
This scent is sweet and smoky. The spices blend effortlessly with the Vanilla, Benzoin, and resinous Opoponax in the base. It can be worn in an office setting, but is much better suited for any casual or formal setting, especially in the colder weather. It has been compared to Jazz Club from Maison Martin Margiela and Anima Dulcis from Arquiste.
Inspiration
Hypnotizing Fire is a seductive scent that nurtures the senses like a gentle flame.
Notes
This scent starts of with an infusion of spices. Pepper Tree - from which Pink Peppercorns are sourced - blends with Pimento Berries (aka Allspice) and smoky Clove. Bulgarian Rose and sweet Praline bring a softness as Patchouli sets in, adding an earthy touch. In the base, Vanilla and Vanilla-like Benzoin add their sweet essence as resinous Opoponax plays well off of the spices at the top. The end result is a warm and cozy scent with a sensual side.
