Powdery cocoa with little boozyness
Magical perfume with an impressive balance between everything it can be.
Because it can be gourmand at some point due to that vanilla amber sweetness with the other "dry" sweetness of the cocoa, more earthy.
The liquor note is very subtle, nothing predominant or outstanding, perfectly blended with the rest.
And surely the most subtle of all is the incense because it is an extremely identifiable note and I have not been able to isolate it in the smell.
I suppose it is that very very controlled incense (it does not feel like such) together with the labdanum that gives it that little point of darkness to make it more interesting than the usual gourmands.

What I like most is that "dry cocoa", that powdery point of a composition that is relatively sweet.

I find it very seductive because people will want to be smelling you all the time.
It is such a delicious smell that I would enjoy it at any time of the day, but at night it can certainly be "dangerous".

Its performance is considerable, it is not a nuclear bomb (a pity) but it can satisfactorily fulfill a little above average in duration and projection.

Powdery cocoa in the opening, smoke, top shelf booze, an open bible (old thin paper, church incense). Love.

Booze and spiced cocoa, signature dark smoky woods, and then a synthetic wood that pokes my nose like shards of glass. Just no. Obnoxious.

After a boozy spicy-sweet opening, this sweet and dry Oriental spicy-resinous Gourmand, settles on a warm and smooth earthy-woody base.

Glistening nest of embers
From dark amber
Caramel drops
Hissing in the fire
Smoke crystallizes
Into brown sugar
On the walls of the wooden barrels

Whisky golden like amber,
drenched in liquid, smoky caramel,
dusting of cocoa.

Bunsen burner melted amber resin jewels.
In the whiskey barrel, smoking rubber vanilla caramel fudges bubble like whale fountains spitting flies.

The whisky praline
delicate melt
runs through
the smoke.
A bowl
of amber
glows in the
caramel-colored light...
