Compassion 2 Irresistible

Compassion 2 Irresistible is a 2017 release from Louis Cardin. Everyone who describes it uses the same four words together, sweet, woody, floral and ambery, and the note list, though brief and general, follows the same outline.

It opens with patchouli alongside sweet and floral notes, so the start is darker than most sweet scents: patchouli brings an earthy, slightly damp woodiness that sits under the sugar and flowers rather than letting them float. The heart is simply fruity notes, a soft, rounded fruitiness that carries the sweetness through the middle. The base is amber alone, a warm, resinous glow that gives the drydown its lasting warmth and explains the ambery impression.

The overall picture is a warm, sweet, slightly earthy fragrance with a floral and fruity centre, closer to a cosy amber than to a fresh or green scent, for anyone who likes sweetness with some depth beneath it.
