By the editors · 2 min readCocoa dominates the opening, its dark bittersweet dustiness sharpened by saffron's leathery bite and bergamot's fleeting citrus edge. The heart folds tonka bean's warm hay-coumarin facet into vanilla's creamy body, doubling down on edible richness while keeping the cocoa still audible as a roasted undercurrent. In the base, cocoa returns, now drier and more resinous, stitched to vanilla through suede's supple skin-like texture that muffles sweetness and adds a subtle grey-powdery cast. Development stays close and linear: the saront-citrus spark dies fast, leaving a soft chocolate-vanilla accord that feels like pressed cocoa truffle suede. Projection remains intimate, hovering just inside personal space for six hours, ideal for cool evenings or casual fall layering when you want comfort more than statement.
