What does Dark Chocolate smell like?

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, and they also rate its value for money well. The number of votes is small, so this is only a first impression. Being unisex, it reads comfortably on both men and women.

It opens with cardamom and mandarin orange, fresh and lightly spiced. In the heart, cocoa, chocolate, jasmine and aniseed flower come forward as it turns sweeter, creamy and powdery. The base of labdanum, amber, musk and vanilla leaves a warm, oriental trail, with fruity and woody touches in the background. Perfumes with a close profile include Penhaligon's Cornubia and Jean Paul Gaultier Gaultier² Eau d'Amour.
