The Comforter is a bold, sweet, and deeply gourmand fragrance centered around juicy blackcurrant, creamy vanilla, and a playful bubblegum accord. It opens with a strikingly potent burst of fruity sweetness—reminiscent of blackcurrant Ribena, syrupy candy, and fresh berries—before mellowing into a warm, soft, and slightly animalic drydown reminiscent of a freshly baked blackcurrant pie. The notes listed as bergamot and cassis are present in the initial stages but quickly give way to a gourmand profile that feels more marshmallowy, cotton candy-like, and cozy than citrussy or green. Longevity is strong, with many noting it lasts through the day and often even longer on clothes. Sillage is moderate to strong, with several reporting they were noticed by others across the room. The scent is consistently described as comforting, nostalgic, and mood-lifting—ideal for casual wear, evening relaxation, or when you want a simple but deeply satisfying scent. A few users find it overwhelming or reminiscent of 'cat pee' or household ammonia, but this is a minority experience. Overall, it’s a highly polarizing but widely beloved, accessible, and long-lasting treat for fans of sweet, fruity, gourmand scents with a unique depth and power that some describe as 'addictive'.
