Frustration

About

Spiced rum with cinnamon and cumin softens quickly into creamy vanilla touched by labdanum. Chestnut, bourbon vetiver, and guaiacol shape a dry woody-gourmand warmth in the base. It wears close to the skin and feels especially comforting in the evening.

Frustration opens with a dense trio of rum, cinnamon, and cumin: warm, spicy, and slightly burning at first touch. Within minutes, the composition softens, and the heart turns creamy with vanilla, richer vanilla absolute, and the resinous shade of labdanum. On skin, it settles close and stays intimate rather than projecting loudly. In the base, chestnut, bourbon vetiver, and guaiacol create a dry woody-gourmand aftertaste. As it dries down, the scent becomes rounder and warmer, and the chestnut-vanilla accord is especially clear when you smell the wrist up close. It suits wearers who enjoy spicy vanilla woods with a quiet, personal aura. It feels most convincing in the evening and in cooler weather, when the rum, vanilla, and chestnut facets open with more depth.
