By the editors · 2 min readBergamot flashes briefly at the top, a clean citric handshake before the heart takes over. Bulgarian rose unfolds wine-dark and slightly jammy, set against a fresh lily-of-the-valley sparkle and a tart black currant snap that gives the floral arrangement a sharp green-fruit edge.
The base shifts the mood entirely: cocoa rolls in dry and slightly bitter, patchouli deepens it with earthy-balsamic warmth, and amber lays a soft glow underneath while musk diffuses the silhouette. The cocoa-rose-patchouli braid is the central character, neither dessert-sweet nor too dark, sitting somewhere in a cool dusk register. Projection is moderate, longevity solid, with the dry-down hovering close as a velvety chocolate-rose hum.
Overall a brooding floral-chocolate composition with patchouli backbone.
