What does Chocolat Amère smell like?

Ginger, nutmeg and galbanum open on a spicy, slightly green note. In the heart, cocoa, jasmine and rose take over, with the floral side softening the cocoa's sweetness. Frankincense and sandalwood leave a woody, powdery, smoky warmth at the base.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and leisure time. Though marketed as masculine, voters read it as feminine and masculine in almost equal measure. Criminal Elements Glimmer and Trussardi Python have a close profile.
