Floral · Sweet · Gourmand
Aaron Terence Hughes Oxytocin pairs Turkish damask rose and rose absolute with chocolate, tonka bean and Bourbon vanilla, giving a sweet, gourmand unisex scent; it has been discontinued.
It opens on rose: Turkish damask rose and rose absolute set a floral start. In the heart, spices, chocolate, tonka bean and Bourbon vanilla sweeten the rose into something creamy and gourmand, while tree moss adds a woody footing. The base of ambergris, musk, Thai oud and patchouli closes it with an oriental depth.

Masculine and feminine votes sit close together, so it reads as in between. Aaron Terence Hughes Luna and Onyx have a close profile.
