  Something weird happens with this perfume: part of me thinks the notes don’t fit, but another part can’t stop smelling it and wants to go buy a bottle. It’s very floral with lots of coffee, a sweet creamy base, and a heavy load of chocolateed patchouli. It has a smoky touch, maybe tobacco leaves. The result is original; I don’t know if it’s pretty, but so intriguing that it amazed me. It smells like a night at a club, a shared cigarette, mystery, and seduction. I think it’s totally unisex. Moderate projection and about 7 hours of longevity. In my collection, the only similar one is Rihanna’s Rebelle, which has cocoa, coffee, and patchouli but is much sweeter, fruitier, and easier to wear if you like patchouli. I still decide whether to buy a full bottle; it’s so rare it deserves to be tested. You’ll love it or hate it, but it won’t leave you indifferent. Scent 7.5/10, Longevity 7/10, Sillage 7/10, Value for money 6/10, Versatility 6/10, Packaging 9/10. Would I buy it again? No, I didn’t.

  As Taurien says, it’s a chocolateed patchouli bomb with coffee grounds. For me, nothing sweet at first; only after 4 hours of drying do you notice some whipped cream and woods, but until then, I can’t stand it. I can’t judge the projection because I only dare to spray a couple due to its potency, and the longevity is 6-7 hours, staying very close to the skin by hour 4. It’s totally unisex and for cold climates. You’ll like it if you’re obsessed with scents like Tom Ford’s Black Orchid or Noir de Noir. Not my case, not for me.

  Agree with those who said it before: jasmine, coffee, and a well-chocolateed patchouli. The base is sweet, creamy, woody, and resinous, with hints of labdanum and tonka bean. As @Taurien pointed out, to my nose it’s a fusion between Rihanna’s Rebelle (though this one is softer; the other is a beast) and Yves Rocher’s Sable Fauve. Totally unisex scent, perfect for cold days. Moderate projection and sillage, lasting 6-7 hours on skin. It didn’t seem weird or hard to wear; I liked it quite a bit, though not enough to add it to my collection.
