This is somehow SO recognizably a NCD scent. Honey straight from the comb, dripping and golden, rich and sweet, backed by maple wood (but not really maple syrup) and a whiff of cardamom spice. Not nearly enough cardamom for my taste - but then, I'm a bit of a cardamom fiend and always want more! I'm so glad I tried this one. Since its notes list starts with "black amber," I expected this to be a really dark scent, but while it's quite rich, it's not ominously dark.
