  A mix of ozonic and aquatic notes with indolic jasmine, a risky proposal that strays from the norm. It hits that strict animalism alongside a gooey, realistic chocolate smeared with salt, creating a synthesis of sweet and ozonic contrasts that seems corroded by time. At first, it’s confusing, like an experiment that escaped the laboratory; does it want to show ocean pollution with plastic? In reality, it saddens me. It starts with very sweet honeyed chocolate, then the salt and crunchy ozonic notes rise before melting into a sandalwood cream, a sharp yet occasionally attractive animal musk, and increasingly sweet resins. It’s curious to try such combinations, but… ‘enjoy’ is the wrong word. It’s not for me.

  Nuevalos: Opening: Honey and a soft jasmine. Heart: The honey persists as cocoa enters accompanied by a delicate oud; gradually the salt appears (no sandalwood). Dry down: Cocoa, oud, and a soft musk with a fleeting animal touch dominate (no oakmoss, opoponax, labdanum, or benzoin). Projection and longevity: Around 7-8 hours of projection, but on skin it exceeds 12, even after showering. Conclusion: A fragrance where cocoa (nothing gourmand) rules, supported by sweet honey, a subtle oud, and clean musk. The most impressive aspect is the persistence on skin, noticeable even after showering (and in winter, it would be even stronger in heat).

  On my boyfriend’s skin it’s a disaster, smelling like a Jerry Drake review: water with plastics, depressing. On me it works better, less harsh, deeper, but still dirty. Imagine an old, half-cleaned rented flat with antique wood, cleaning products, and a bit of grime. We all know that hint of cocoa. The chocolate version softens the face considerably; to realise this, try the de-fatted cocoa powder from the supermarket, where it becomes apparent. It recalls early Spanish transatlantic ships in a raw, almost photorealistic way, though I haven’t travelled back in time. You can smell the valuable goods stored away, but also everything else. Accompanied by the precariousness of transport, it’s clear the dusty hold isn’t a place to enjoy them. It’s uncomfortable; you can’t stay sniffing the cocoa and jasmine because you have to scrub the deck already.
