What does Vicious Cacao smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it sits comfortably in leisure time and evening outings. It reads slightly more feminine than masculine, though a fair share of voters call it masculine.

Pink pepper, rum and raspberry open with a light spicy, fruity touch. In the heart, cocoa absolute softens beside narcissus, jasmine and amber; the base of salted caramel, sandalwood, saffron and benzoin leaves a creamy, powdery warmth. Oakmoss adds a faint woody depth to the sweetness.
