The note is an intoxicating blend, immediately conjuring images of dark chocolate and creamy vanilla. It possesses a bittersweet quality, with the initial burst of rich, slightly bitter dark chocolate transitioning into a smooth, enveloping wave of sweet vanilla. The chocolate aspect is dusty, subtly roasted, and slightly dry, providing a counterpoint to the oily, almost buttery vanilla. It can be both heavy and comforting, with moderate projection and excellent longevity on skin, typically acting as a base note.
