Emir When Soul Gets High

Emir When Soul Gets High by Paris Corner, released in 2022, is a dense, sweet, spiced gourmand. Everyone who describes it calls it gourmand; most also find it spicy, a sizeable group woody, resinous and ambery, and a minority citrusy.

The list of notes is long, but the shape is clear. Cherry, raspberry and almond open it with a marzipan-and-fruit sweetness, with bergamot and cardamom adding a brief freshness and saffron a warm, leathery spice. The heart is gingerbread, honey and nutmeg, a baked, syrupy warmth, with tobacco adding a dry, leafy counterweight and a touch of chamomile and geranium keeping it from being purely edible. The base is thick with vanilla, tonka bean, benzoin and labdanum, plus frankincense and cedar for a resinous, woody dryness underneath the sugar.

It is a shared fragrance, worn by anyone. Its richness suggests cold weather and evenings; a little goes a long way with a composition this sweet, and it suits people who want a tobacco gourmand that leans fully into dessert.
