The Story
A Lick of the Flame is a warm, spicy gourmand that captures the essence of a crackling fire. It opens with bright ginger and cinnamon, then settles into a rich heart of honey and clove. The base is a smoky blend of labdanum and vanilla, with a touch of leather. It's cozy, bold, and perfect for cool weather.
