Reddit: The cardamom was the strongest spice when sniffed in the vial, but on my skin it's HELLO NUTMEG - I've never experienced as strong a nutmeg bomb as this! I was concerned, from the vial sniff, that the very sticky, golden, spiced caramel would be much too gourmand for me, but it's actually a lot less sweet on my skin - very much NUTMEG + cardamom + sticky caramel, rather than the opposite order. I adore Arcana's cardamom, so this was pretty much an automatic buy for me, but I'm glad I got a sample to test instead of a blind FS because I smell like an entire bottle of nutmeg from my spice cabinet exploded on me, which is not really what I was going for. You must like nutmeg to enjoy this one. It's sweet enough that I do think it straddles the line brilliantly - both non-gourmand lovers and gourmand lovers will like this one (if you like nutmeg!!). I had Husband sniff my wrist and I'm deeply jealous of his olfactory experience of it on me - he says he gets a LOT of cardamom, with vanilla (rather than caramel) underneath, and oh, how I wish that's how it smelled to me!
