This smells like the most elegant take on a Tootsie Roll and it is completely addictive! Like if Vosges Chocolates or another avant garde chocolatier was tasked with making their iteration of a Tootsie Roll or the Terry’s Chocolate Orange that you smash and it splits into orange wedges. It is not at all overly sweet or cloying and has really beautiful depth from the lavender, coffee, and ambergris. I absolutely love this. It’s intoxicating.

Tell me a story. Tell me a story about the time you were so in love with a person, you walked hand-in-hand on a summer's day in an outdoor flower market in a seaside town and everything around you felt unreal, like a soft, dreamy pastel impressionist painting or a freshly laundered blanket made of clouds, lavender, orange blossoms and jasmine. Tell me a story of how, between caresses, You and your love nibbled on handmade mocha coffee creams and then tasted the chocolate on one another's tongues as you kissed beneath a sherbert sun. Tell me if you ever wanted to wake up, or if you chose to continue floating until the sea rose up and washed everything away like a sandcastle on a pink sand beach.

I wish I could smell this with more jasmine and no chocolate note.
