Ruby Z.★★★★★
I was nervous about the dried dates note because sweet scents can go cloying on me, but the cedarwood keeps it dry and almost smoky underneath. The cocoa absolute is rich without being like a candy bar, and an hour in it settles into this soft, cozy vanilla-amber hug. The 50 ml bottle feels solid to

The ambergris gives it this warm, salty depth that keeps the sweetness from feeling cloying—I keep catching whiffs of cedarwood hours later. For a 50 ml bottle, a couple of sprays lasts me through a full workday, and the cocoa doesn’t turn powdery on my skin like other gourmands.
Timothy Y.★★★★★
The ambergris and cedarwood give it a warm, almost smoky depth that lingers for hours on my skin—way more complex than the usual sweet gourmands. I've worn it three days straight and keep catching whiffs of that cocoa absolute, it's seriously addictive.
