  I absolutely love this perfume. It lasts forever, projects strongly, and smells incredible… worth every penny. I have the pure concentration, though I believe an EDP exists too. The scent revolves around fig and is fairly linear; it doesn’t change much over time, but since I love it from the start, I don’t mind. It stays delicious for over 12 hours (yes, yes, when I say long-lasting, I mean *very* long-lasting). It seems very balanced and it’s hard to say which note dominates. From the beginning, there are dark, mature roses bathed in dark chocolate with a deep sweetness, woods in the base giving an earthy touch, and a juicy fig right on point. I also sense a touch of green, wild strawberry and acidity, which isn’t listed but is there, perhaps due to the interplay between young and dark roses. It’s dense and rich like an Ambre Sultan. Despite being simple, it’s very well constructed, original, unique, and three-dimensional, as if you can hear the layers: woods at the bottom, roses and figs in the middle, and chocolate on top. I recommend it 100%. It’s easy to like, but use it with moderation: one spray is enough, because the projection is brutal and can become overwhelming quickly.

  Smells odd if you were expecting something sweet like a dessert, even though it’s marketed as gourmand. It doesn’t smell like food to me, even though I’m a huge sweet tooth. What really hooks me is that dark, earthy chocolate blending beautifully with wood, softened by a hint of fig and a sharp touch of rose. It feels elegant, unisex, and seductive thanks to that creamy note. I see it as suitable for any season or time of day. The performance is decent for a niche scent—not a bomb, but perfect for going out and dressing up.
