The note opens with a jolt of bitter, roasted richness, reminiscent of freshly ground espresso beans. A slightly acidic and earthy undercurrent balances a dark chocolate sweetness, with a hint of burnt caramel and a lingering smokiness. It projects intensely, radiating a warm and comforting aura, settling into a dry, woody base with moderate longevity. It's less about sugary sweetness and more about the raw, stimulating intensity of the bean itself.
