Cho-co-not-so-sweet
Yes, I confess, I belong to the probably dying breed of gourmand fragrance lovers.
And yet I find this fragrance fascinating
Sounds weird. But it is!
Because "chocolate" is not a gourmand. Not really. Well, yeah, but not really. When I read "Chocolat", I think of a sweet piece of milk chocolate - preferably the one with the cow. But this scent is rather tart, slightly fruity, not over-sugared - more like a piece of dark chocolate dusted with a hint of cocoa. Do you know the situation when you hold the fork to your mouth when you eat tiramisu, inhale it by mistake and the cocoa flies to your palate so that you have to cough directly? That's about the same scent, only it's beautiful
Because of the bitter note I find it quite suitable for men, but personally I am free of pain anyway. Tom Daxon once said so beautifully that gender classification in fragrances is a pure marketing concept. I unreservedly agree with this
When I consider that the fragrance was created 23 years ago, it still feels a bit ahead of its time. For friends of unusual chypres, it's definitely worth a try.

I'd love to read it. A rather unknown fragrance. A friend uses him for years, but so really like to smell him not. The similarity to Angel is definitely there.

To me it also gave the impression of an Angel twin, not very chocolaty, unfortunately.

Everyone perceives differently. In this respect your description is good. But perfume-wise it is never and never ever a chypre.
