Resinous Chocolate
If you're expecting a chocolate-vanilla gourmand with a hint of incense and myrrh, you don't need to buy this one. The resins clearly dominate here.
The opening is quite comparable to Soft Cake Orange, but after about 15 seconds, Soft Cake is already gone. The orange note fades away, and I don't perceive it anymore as the fragrance develops.
The sillage: The fragrance notes are very harmonious. For a while, I perceive a lovely blend of chocolate, leather, and incense. The chocolate is sweet and not necessarily bittersweet. I can smell the leather, but it blends so well with the chocolate that it comes across as quite subtle. The incense reveals both its sweet, soft, and spicy side, as well as its very resinous, slightly green, fir or pine-like aspect.
It may not sound like it fits, but to me, it really smells wonderful.
As it progresses, the resinous aspect of the incense becomes louder, the leather disappears, and the further it goes towards the drydown, the more the chocolate fades away.
The drydown is very resinous, slightly bitter (also resinous-lemony), and I also perceive a warm, sweet, creamy vanilla.
In the sillage, this combination of resin and vanilla is very pleasant, but on my skin, the fragrance notes are different.
Maybe it will be different on your skin, but on me, the fragrance notes are rather "raw," meaning coarser, rougher, and more angular. And I only perceive the resins and leather there.
I think you really have to be into incense, myrrh - into this resinous aspect.
I really like this combination and the fragrance a lot!
