Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar 42, by Kayali, opens on a gourmand accord blending vanilla, ylang-ylang and rum. The heart deepens the warm sweetness while the base turns toward sensual, earthy woods.
Vanilla, sweet and spicy, and ylang-ylang, spicy and reminiscent of nail polish, occupy the top on a shared spicy facet; rum, cinnamon-like and gingery, accompanies them.
Jasmine, warm and wild, labdanum and caramel, both balsamic and warm, share the heart: warmth brings all three together, while the balsamic quality concerns only the last two.
Sandalwood, woody and velvety, and vetiver, woody and smoky, dominate the base on a shared woody register; patchouli, earthy and damp, sits alongside them on a darker note.
