What does Dark Moon smell like?

The top opens with black pepper, nutmeg and bergamot, warmed by wine and cognac. In the heart, beeswax, Bulgarian rose otto and sandalwood come forward, while Madeira wine softens the floral and woody texture. The base of myrrh, cocoa, dark chocolate and vanilla absolute leaves a sweet, resinous and slightly animalic trail. It settles into a dark balance between sharp spice and creamy chocolate.
