I've been trying to write about this fragrance, thinking too much, probably way more than needed, everything about this fragrance is beautiful, the inspiration Ludovic love story, the work by the perfumer Clément Marx who did an incredible achievement here, it's not easy to find a great cocoa fragrance, much less a great one with elegance, and I'm happy to say, this is it. Honestly, to me, the best creation Bon Parfumeur has done until today.
The main notes I get from Iris Cartagena are cocoa and cedar/papyrus, this are the protagonists, yet, there's enough complexity to make it interesting without going overboard. The iris helps give it a romantic aura, alongside the vanilla which provides a backbone to the fragrance. The textured cedar note gives a slight sharp nature to the perfume which helps giving it character, with some green facets which I guess may come from papyrus helps further provides a beautiful balance to the cocoa.
This one is stunning and very much deserving of all praises it is getting, a comforting fragrance that not only provides a complex nature yet easy to enjoy, it avoids the over saturated gourmand territory with their ultra synthetic sweetness and manages to create something unique without being strange, easy to love and creates such a beautiful aura of scent around us. Yep, if you can see my enthusiasm, you can tell how much I love this one, honestly, one of my favorite cocoa fragrance I've come across in my scented journey. I can only say, bravo to the team behind this creation!
