Majaïna Sin

Majaïna Sin unfolds as a warmly spiced, sweetly gourmand fragrance with a bright citrus opening that quickly melts into a creamy, syrupy base of vanilla, tonka, and chestnut. It carries a fizzy, almost effervescent quality from the ginger and citrus, suggesting ginger ale or candied orange rind, particularly in the initial moments. The scent deepens with a layered richness, where the chestnut note gives a delicate, starchy-nutty character that’s more implied than bold, balancing the sweetness from vanilla and heliotrope. Warm cinnamon, sandalwood, and a powdery amber base lend depth and warmth, especially noticeable in cooler weather. It’s not a full gourmand in the sugary dessert sense, but it sits on the edge of that realm, with slight synthetic polish adding a modern sheen. The development is smooth and well-blended, with the fruity sweetness and spices fading into a soft, lingering warmth rather than lingering aggressively. It’s not overpowering, with moderate sillage and moderate longevity, making it suitable for both day and night, especially in autumn and winter. While some find it too sweet or cloying, others praise its sophistication, balance of sweetness, and the subtle chestnut heart.
