Does this fragrance smell like a candle or food?+−
While it features prominent notes of gingerbread and cinnamon, the inclusion of maté tea and Australian sandalwood gives it a sophisticated, "dry" aromatic quality. It evokes the atmosphere of a holiday kitchen rather than smelling like a literal, sugary syrup.
Is this suitable for warm weather?+−
Most users find Un Crime Exotique too dense and spicy for summer heat. Its warm, enveloping nature is best suited for fall and winter, particularly on crisp or snowy days when the spices can really "bloom."
How does the tea note come across?+−
The tea is presented as a steaming masala chai rather than a fresh, green tea. It is dark, spiced, and slightly smoky thanks to the maté, providing a bitter-herbal contrast to the sweeter gingerbread notes.
How long does the scent last on the skin?+−
Community consensus suggests very good longevity. You can expect it to last through a full workday, with the spicy top notes lingering for the first few hours before settling into a warm, woody vanilla base.
