Very good

Strong category choiceA vivid chocolate–orange opening (bitter orange over rich cacao) melts into a powdery cocoa–vanilla heart and a warmer vanilla–tonka base with a soft coffee tint. On skin, many report strong projection in the first hours and 8–12 hours of wear, though a minority find 4–5 hours. Expect a cozy, edible character more than complex transitions.
