Dark Dessert - Affogato
Don’t mind the bad reviews for this one. People have been clamoring to be the first to get their hands on this to post content right off of the heels of big releases like Bianco Latte and similar clones.
Shaghaf Vanilla Toffee is nothing like that. This is a very dark and intense gourmand that really teeters that line on what people actually call gourmand.
Just looking at the note breakdown it makes me think of a chef brainstorming a dessert, combining flavors that can compliment each other to get to a certain flavor, chasing that michelin star. In this case the chef focused on toffee’s dark roasted flavor.
That’s what this smells like to me.
It opens with strong toffee and supplemented with black coffee notes with some brown sugar binding the two together. The dates and cardamom pop in the accentuate the opening notes creating some smoky feel, on top of a backdrop of vanilla and a hint of walnut. The mix of the last two gives it that very slight milk feel. On the dry down the backdrop of vanilla remains, tonka keeping it soft, and the woods, musk and benzoin come out keeping some level of smokiness that compliments the vanilla very well. Like a a fancy affogato
To my nose that darkness of it makes it lean more masculine.
The darkness does make it very versatile. Someone could easily dress this up in a suit for a night out like a casino, date, ballroom event. Or dress this down for home to lounge. If your girl wears Bianco Latte you can wear this.
Definitely would work better for colder days.
Other than that it delivers on the name, lots of vanilla and toffee with complimentary flavors that develop around it. Idk what everyone else expected when they saw the word toffee on the bottle. Toffee is cooked at higher temps than caramel and give a much darker and more roasted flavor. It doesn’t smell burnt or bitter you just don’t like toffee ¯ _(ツ)_/¯
