Andrey Chibisov from the Russian perfume label Odetú has a penchant for gourmand fragrances, as I already described in the review of "Di Pralinator." At least with that one, it gives you a huge appetite for sweets, especially melting nougat pralines.
Here at Roca Chosa, it’s more about an unknown chocolate specialty that one could wonderfully imagine in a box of pralines or even in one’s own home bar, although I can’t name a direct comparison.
But the associations are present. The candied oranges, the dark chocolate, and the heavy liqueur seem to be inhaled right in the opening. Even the rose jam, which I got to know and enjoy during my trip to Turkey, seems to be detectable.
Interestingly, after a few minutes, I think I recognize dark roasted strong coffee, which, however, is not mentioned at all. No matter - it’s also delicious and fits into the indulgent theme.
However, there comes a point where the charming sweet treat offensive tips over. The scent becomes somewhat stricter and burnt in stages, blending into a strange chocolate monotony. It’s not really enjoyable to sniff anymore, even though benzoin and vanilla are trying their hardest.
What remains towards the end is the impression of perceiving traces of any chocolate on one’s fingers. Along with the described disruptive factor, which I cannot pinpoint. While this is still better than many other things, it unfortunately does not live up to the initial wow effect upon spraying.
At least the approach was very promising, but perhaps higher-quality ingredients could yield a more ambitious result. This also includes the projection and longevity, which still have some room for improvement.
Nevertheless, curiosity remains for the many other Odetú creations.
