This collection from Affinessence was created exclusively from essences that are traditionally used as base notes, as a result of the creator?s passion for base notes. Affinessence combined Tahitian vanilla absolute with leather overtones and the sweet scent of Madagascan vanilla absolute in Vanille-Benzoin before blending it with Siamese benzoin, a fragrant resin originating in Laos that is highly valued for its balsamic and almond notes. As Ambroxan exudes carnal notes from tonka bean and Moroccan and Chinese cedar, the benzoin transcends the vanilla for a truly intoxicating scent with a spellbinding trail.
