white spiced chocolate with vetiver

Notte Bianca is a good fragrance, but not a lightweight. With the name, I expected transparency, something bright and clear and light. But what I get is a distinctly spicy, bright cream. I immediately smell the tonka bean, as this note is the most dominant for me. While By Night White from Profumi del Forte already addresses the same theme by name - namely a "white night" - Notte Bianca is much more complex and the scent development is more nuanced. At first, I am reminded of a white spiced chocolate that might be available around Christmas time. But somehow it doesn't stop there, as vetiver serves as a strong counterpoint to the tonka bean. All in all, a high-quality unisex fragrance with a very unique interpretation of tonka. However, the scent does not suit my taste, as I prefer the much creamier, less complex, but rounder and more feminine perfume from Profumi del Forte - By Night White.

@Hasi: You can't really capture crispness in a spray bottle.

Wise chocolate sounds good, but the ingredient list is quite something too :)
Adding to my wishlist and great comment!
