Quite noble chocolate dream
Since I love the Rosendo Mateu N. 5, I was really curious about the way in which here now the tonka bean was processed and whether the musk generally acts similarly.
N. 5 is definitely a whole corner more oriental and much more vanilla-heavy. He is also in its sillage more dominant than the 1970, which is why I find him more portable despite also extreme durability.
And the fragrance itself... It opens with an insanely elegant dark chocolate note that is authentic and artfully entwined by spices and caramel, so that the impression seems neither too dry nor too sweet.
In the head, this mixes with a strongly perceptible citrus, which, however, does not bite, but gives the flair a pleasant effervescence. The combination also seemed unexpectedly intriguing to me, although I'm actually not a fan of citrusy notes.
In the heart already faded then join more the spices and earthy notes, the tonka bean becomes more dominant and the fragrance just seems incredibly creamy and well-tuned. Through the darkness of the chocolate note I get an elegant and somehow mature impression, which is why the vibe already resembles that of the N. 5. And the musk is clearly attributable to the house, not quite as sultry, but more like a soft, embracing carpet pad to the whole thing.
All in all, a really delicious unisex gourmand, perfect for cold days. I imagine a person who radiates warmth and cordiality, but at the same time a little intimidating and unknowingly imposing by its maturity of character.
I also find it super that the fragrance has not become a simple variation of the bestseller N. 5, but somehow in similar realms takes its own direction.
Even the flacon convinces with its weight and the solid gold rim in every respect. In my opinion, a must try for every Gourmandlover and potentially likeable for fans of the N. 5!
