Plaisir Gourmand
Cocoa and ambrette seed open together — cocoa providing dark richness while ambrette adds a musky, slightly fatty smoothness that keeps the opening from reading as purely gourmand.

Iris and chocolate define the heart, shifting the composition into chocolate-powder territory. Iris adds powdery, root-like depth that tempers the chocolate's sweetness with something more mineral and dry.
Amberwood, moss, and cedar form the base — moss introducing earthy complexity, cedar providing woody warmth, oakmoss grounding the composition with chypre earthiness that lifts this beyond simple dessert territory.
This is a chocolate-iris composition: indulgent but anchored by earthy moss. Best suited to cool evenings and indoor occasions.
