The little Shropshire town where I live has just such a shop, Tuesday's, and this rich, complex cologne was inspired by the amazing, tempting smell inside the shop. First you get the top-notes of citrus: cedrat, lemon, orange and mandarin with just a hint of spice. Underneath is a rich vein of chocolate and vanilla with opopanax providing a lovely creamy, caramel note.
In between are subtle fruity notes such as blackcurrant and even a spiced rum element from an unusual oil called davana.
If you smell carefully you can also find rose, the sweet jasmine sambac and even a tiny touch of cucumber that helps to keep the whole composition fresh and clean.
This is a long-lasting unisex cologne that despite its heritage does not smell too much like food. It's the concept of a luxury sweet-shop, rather than its contents . . .
If you have bought this product or a sample of it - in any of the forms available in the range - and you would like to make comments about it, please do so here.
