Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
I absolutely love it; it smells sweet and pleasant. Its evolution reminded me of fragrances I already own: the aldehydic note evoked ‘Joop! Homme Wild!’, followed by a soft phase that made me think of ‘Seduction in Black’ by Antonio Banderas, but much more contained because this isn’t intense. It begins sweet and aldehydic, then transitions to spicy and floral with great delicacy, without being over the top. In the heart, the cocoa stands out, giving a rich, sweet sensation of powdered cocoa, while at the end, the amber takes the lead. It smells wonderful, although the longevity is moderate: it lasts about six hours on the skin, and the final hour is very faint. The trail is soft; it’s only noticeable well during the first half-hour; afterwards, you need to get close. Ideal for evening wear and any season, it’s soft, non-intrusive, and allows you to pass your hand over it several times without going overboard.
