Opening with grapefruit (the grapefruit opening actually gives me an impression of cardamom - which is not listed?) and vanilla, in the heart it turns just a tad soapy, and the drydown is a smoky sweet sandalwood, probably due to the incense.
It's nice and all, yet I feel somewhat underwhelmed seeing that this was the first major retail release from Z&V (including big ad campaigns all perfectly timed for christmas 2016) and also I was maybe expecting something with a little more "punch" from Nathalie Lorson, that also brought us scents like the Encre Noire line and Bentley's For Men editions.
Last night my GF snuggled into me and said "mmm, smells like chocolate" ??! Haven't noticed that, but of course my skin may be interacting with this one.
Not a bad scent at all, but unfortunately easily overlooked.
Edit : also tested it in high heat and due to the discrete sillage it actually works very well in the summertime, didn't see that coming.
