Dark is our addictive chocolate fragrance. Dark chocolate is something you only really get into as you get older. A petite décadence that you’ll only understand when your tastes mature, when you’ve fully explored your sensuality. The best dark chocolate is an indulgence on par with great coffee or red wine. It can be transportative, taking you back to the mountains of South America, enlivening your senses, giving you a dose of pure, unadulterated pleasure. Dark is a scent that practically radiates serotonin.

I blind bought this for me, but found this one sits better with my partner's chemistry. He does wear it more than I (and smells amazing!), but I do still borrow back on occasion. The fragrance itself is a dark, dusty, dry chocolate.. more smoky chocolate powder, it is DEFINITELY not Chocolate Greedy type territory! This one is a maturer, more refined scent, and it positively shines in cold weather! The only reason I scored this down a little is that I find it comes across a little cold. It is not a cosy, snuggly fragrance, it is more a dark, brooding 'mysterious stranger' type vibe, but that said, it is still deliciously wearable. Don't blind buy this one - sample first! If it works for you then you'll love it, but it is truly niche!

An elegant, well-crafted fragrance built around a dominant cocoa note. Underpinned by subtle rum-like accords and nuts, sweetened and smoothed with vanilla, it feels sensual, fairly heavy, and true to its name. As it settles on the skin, a gentle smoky veil appears. On fabric, the longevity is all-day.
