      This looks like it could be a re-release or reformulation of Dries Van Noten (2013).
      ‘Northern Love is a sensorial embrace. It evokes the silence of long Nordic winters, the crackling of a burning fireplace, a cup of tea in your hands. It’s a suspended moment, where the world outside stops and only what truly matters remains: the feeling. The fragrance opens with a bold and luminous accent of saffron: warm, spicy, slightly metallic. An opening that immediately captures the attention, vibrant and refined, without being invasive. After a few moments, Northern Love sheds its skin. Jasmine emerges with a soft and velvety nuance, never overly floral, but perfectly balanced. This is where the true protagonist comes in: sandalwood. Creamy, enveloping, almost milky… it builds an elegant and continuous texture, lending depth and character. In the base, the composition warms and becomes more sensual. Vanilla unfolds slowly, soft and sophisticated, without excessive sugariness. What makes it unique is the Sacrasol, a buttery and gourmand note that recalls spiced biscuits: rounded, irresistible, almost tactile.’ – Clementi Profumi
      ‘NORTHERN LOVE is a warm and intimate fragrance. Signed by Bruno Jovanovic, this amber-woody composition elevates a creamy sandalwood, layered with cinnamon as a nod to spicy biscuit accord. Inspired by a yearning for emotional truth, Northern Love writes a love letter to modern romanticism. A warm, comforting embrace contrasted by a cold and nostalgic feeling — like a bittersweet hug. The courage to feel. Master perfumer Bruno Jovanovic signs an amber-woody composition oscillating between opulence and refinement, classicism and modernity. Northern Love elevates an exceptional sandalwood essence by amplifying the naturally creamy facets of this precious wood. Lifted by warm spices, the sandalwood gently gives way to the enveloping roundness of vanilla, leaving behind an intimate and deeply comforting trail. Blending visionary creativity with an enlightened appreciation of tradition, Bruno Jovanovic showcases his craft in this fragrance with its exquisitely sculpted textures.’ – Cy Duty Free
