Cognac.
Sharp, boozy warmth with dried fruit behind it.
Our read on the material, not a measurement.
What it smells like.
Cognac is alcoholic heat with dried fruit and a faint oaky sweetness underneath. It is sharper and drier than rum and it hits early, giving a fragrance an immediate warmth that citrus cannot.
