What does Choco Raptor smell like?

The top opens with saffron, grapefruit and ginger alongside caramelized almond and chocolate. The heart brings almond blossom, cardamom, patchouli and white chocolate, and the base settles into vanilla, tonka bean, oud and leather. Sweet and spicy accords lead, with creamy and leathery tones rounding them out, over an earthy, resinous ground.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are tentative. It does not lean masculine or feminine and suits anyone who likes a sweet, dark profile. Zousz Black Oud and Amouage Interlude Man have a close profile.
