Gourmand, boozy, vanilla, warm-spicy, and sweet.

Key Fragrance Notes:

Top: Cognac
Heart: Cinnamon, Tonka Bean, Oak, Hedione
Base: Vanilla, Praline, Sandalwood, Candied Almond

Type of Way begins with cognac, establishing a boozy character before cinnamon, tonka bean, and oak deepen its warmth. Hedione brings a softer, more open quality around the richer heart materials. Vanilla, praline, and candied almond make the base sweet and nutty, while sandalwood adds a smooth woody texture. The composition has a clear gourmand direction, but oak and cognac give the sweetness a drier framework. Its main balance is between confectionery softness, warm spice, and the deeper character of the woods.

Summary

Type of Way is a warm boozy gourmand built around cognac, spice, vanilla, and praline. Cognac establishes the opening immediately, giving the fragrance a rich liquor-like warmth before cinnamon, tonka bean, oak, and hedione form the center. Vanilla and praline make the drydown sweeter and smoother, while sandalwood and candied almond add creamy wood and nutty texture underneath. The composition is clearly gourmand, but oak and sandalwood give it enough structure to avoid feeling like simple syrupy sweetness. It should suit shoppers who enjoy cozy, dessert-adjacent fragrances with a boozy edge and noticeable spice. The overall effect is plush, warm, and evening-friendly, with almond and woods rounding the sweeter vanilla-praline base.
