It's not syrupy or candy-like at all, more like the tart skin of a plum you'd eat over the sink. I've been dabbing it on my wrists just to smell it alone, and it stays rich without going sour.

I layered this accord under a vanilla base and it gives the whole thing a jammy, almost wine-like depth that I couldn't get from fresh fruit notes. It's potent too, so one dab on the wrist lasted me most of an evening.

The dark plum note smells like the actual fruit rather than candy, with a tart edge that keeps it from going syrupy. I've been layering a drop under vanilla scents and it adds this rich, almost wine-like depth.
