Rye Whiskey (Accordo Naturale)

The natural accord keeps the rye sharp and spicy instead of syrupy, which is exactly what I wanted. It wears close to the skin and lasts a solid few hours without ever feeling heavy.

I was expecting something boozy and harsh, but this wears like a warm, spiced vanilla on my skin after the first hour. It's a natural accord, so the dry-down feels softer and less synthetic than the sweet rye scents I've tried before. Genuinely impressed with how it evolves.

The rye note here is sharp and peppery in a way that actually smells like the real thing, not a candle version of it. It wears close to the skin after an hour but I keep catching it on my sleeve all day.
