What Le Male Elixir Absolu smells like

Feels like
A glass of spiced plum wine warming in a gloved hand · The scent of aged leather and pipe tobacco in a dimly lit study · A rich, dark chocolate truffle dusted with cinnamon · The soft, enveloping warmth of a tonka bean blanket · Resinous incense smoke mingling with sweet fruit in a grand hall · A confident stride across a polished wooden floor
