  A mix of ozonic and aquatic notes with indolic jasmine, a risky proposal that strays from the norm. It hits that strict animalism alongside a gummy, realistic chocolate smeared with salt, creating a synthesis of sweet and ozonic contrasts that seems corroded by time. At first, it’s confusing, like an experiment that escaped the lab; does it want to show ocean plastic pollution? In reality, it saddens me. It starts with very sweet honeyed chocolate, then the salt and ozonic crunch rise before melting into sandalwood cream, a sharp yet occasionally attractive animal musk, and increasingly sweet resins. It’s curious to try combinations like this, but… ‘enjoy’ is the wrong word. Not for me.

  Nuevalos: Opening: Soft honey and jasmine. Heart: The honey lingers as cocoa enters with a subtle oud, gradually revealing a salty note (no sandalwood). Dry Down: Cocoa, oud, and a soft musk with a fading animal touch dominate (no oakmoss, opoponax, labdanum, or benzoin). Projection and Longevity: 7-8 hours of projection and over 12 on skin; even noticeable after a shower. Conclusion: A fragrance where cocoa (not gourmand) rules, followed by sweet honey, subtle oud, and clean musk. The best part is the skin longevity, even after showering (and in winter, it would be even more noticeable in heat).

  Nuevalos: Opening: Honey and soft jasmine. Heart: Honey persists as cocoa enters accompanied by delicate oud; salt gradually appears (no sandalwood). Dry Down: Cocoa, oud, and a soft musk with a fading animal touch dominate (no oakmoss, opoponax, labdanum, or benzoin). Projection and Longevity: Around 7-8 hours of projection, but on skin it exceeds 12, even after showering. Conclusion: A fragrance where cocoa (nothing gourmand) rules, followed by sweet honey, a subtle oud, and clean musk. The most impressive part is the skin longevity, noticeable even after showering (and in winter, it would be even stronger in heat).

  On my boyfriend’s skin, it’s a disaster; it smells like a Jerry Drake review: water with plastics, depressing. On me, it works better—less harsh, deeper, but still dirty. Imagine an old rented apartment halfway through cleaning, with antique wood, cleaning products, and a bit of grime. We all know that cocoa nuance. The chocolate version softens the face significantly; to realize this, try the de-fatted cocoa powder from the supermarket; it’s noticeable here. It recalls the first Spanish transatlantic ships in a raw, almost photorealistic way, even if you haven’t traveled back in time. You can smell the valuable products stored away, but also everything else. Accompanied by the precariousness of transport, it’s clear that the dusty warehouse isn’t a place to enjoy them. It’s uncomfortable; you can’t stay smelling the cocoa and jasmine because you have to scrub the deck already.
