The darkest chocolate of all
Wow. This bomb is louder than Mugler's Angel!
I remember the first time I tried it. Just a couple of small spritzes and I was in a cloud all day. It wouldn't go away either. I wore it, I woke up in it, I smelled it after shower still. That hardly ever happens to me.
This is chocolate. Rich, thick, spicy dark chocolate, the kind that holds 85% pure cocoa. You know what I mean?
Not to mention the patchouli which is almost as loud and forward as the chocolate. To my nose the vanilla binds it all together very elegantly.
It's very linear to me, the chocolate/patchouli is very much in front for the first... can I say 18 hours? In the late drydown the vanilla takes over, but not entirely.
I love this one. I don't like gourmand scents very much (especially not candy-ish), but this is just so delicious, round, smooth and spicy. True liquid dark chocolate. I think it would have been nauseating if the patchouli had been less prominent actually.
I can't figure out the occasions it would be suitable for. Dinner out? No. It would overpower any dish except chocolate mousse and probably even that too. Work? No. There's no way you can use little enough to keep this one discreet. And I could go on. Otoh, life is more than work and dinners out! I'll wear it when I'm in the killer mode and don't give a damn about others' sufferings!
This one will stay in my collection.
