Terry's Chocolate Orange but the adult version
If you’ve ever melted really dark, 80% cocoa bars of chocolate to make a cake or sauce, then you’ll be familiar with its pungent, almost animalic smell. The smell is not creamy or sweet, rather it greatly resembles the inky flatness of indole, mold, and the iron-rich smell of fresh blood. I am always searching for a perfume that truly captures those less “pretty” aspects of dark chocolate, and while Noir de Noir and T Bond come close, this is the first scent that I’ve smelled that captures it in its totality. It smells rich, truly black, and disturbingly like iron tonic.
If there is something I like better than dark chocolate, then it is the trashy charm of orangettes, Jaffa cakes, and Terry’s Chocolate Orange. Here a bright tangerine or orange note (similar to the headlights-switched-on sunniness of the citrus in Oud Luban) illuminates the dark chocolate and puts me in mind of those orangey, chocolate-y treats. And yet, the accord is not yummy in a gourmand manner because Mandy has cleverly paired the moldy, indolic smell of melted dark chocolate with an impressively fecal jasmine, ripe with its own indoles. The notes feed off of each other, and the chewy, inky purple floral weaves an inedible note into the mix, saving it from gourmandise.
I really love this stuff, and it shoots straight to the top of my favorite inedible gourmands list. Lush and pretty damn filthy, I recommend this to lovers of T Bond by Sammarco and Isvaraya by Indult (if only for its rather dirty, plummy jasmine note).
