Happy Nuts might at first remind you of your favourite nutty liqueur - Amaretto, Frangelico, Nocello? How about pistachio gelato, halva, or baklava? All the decadent and delicious things. Happy Nuts assimilates all of these pleasures, its medley of almond, pistachio, and sesame - crushed and roasted - are bound together in a syrup made of caramel, rum, honey, tonka, and vanilla, becoming an indulgent, chewy, and toothsome paste that you can wear. This is perfume, after all, and BTSO adds to this melange a serious dose of tobacco, patchouli, guaiac wood, and ambery-musks in the base for contrast, complexity, balance, and brilliance. Nuances of smoke, char, earthiness are evident and fine. Notably, Happy Nuts is to be praised for respecting its pistachio note, balancing realism with fantasy in its complex of earthy, sweet, green, and savoury qualities.
