Ameixa Especiada (Acorde Botânico)

The plum comes through as tart and jammy rather than candy-sweet, with a dry spice underneath that keeps it from feeling heavy. I've been wearing it on cool evenings and it settles into something warm and skin-like after an hour or so.

I expected something syrupy but this stays dry and almost wine-like, with the clove and cinnamon threading through instead of sitting on top. Wore it to dinner and caught it on my scarf the next morning, which never happens with fruit accords.

The plum note is jammy and rich without turning syrupy, and the spice gives it a nice warmth for fall. It fades faster than I'd like though, maybe four hours on my skin before it's mostly gone.
