Liquorette

Smelled through the entire discovery set tonight and Liquorette was the standout. The opening is the most photo realistic scent I have ever experienced - a Queen Anne chocolate covered cordial cherry. Despite that, it's not overly sweet and grounded by the Patchouli. The patchouli here is not sharp, it's mellow and smooth. The cherry note is spectacular, far from syrupy. It's soft almost powdery. I also pickup subtle wafts of tobacco, although this note is not mentioned. Perhaps it's the Peru Balsam or Agarwood. This is a lovely fragrance and full bottle worthy.

This is so rich and satisfying. The use of cherry here may be the best I have come across, cherry brandy is an accurate description. Mixed in with dark chocolate and a woody oud base it is a decadent blend. It in the family of rich boozy scents like Vanille Havane, not the same of course but with similar elements (chocolate, booze, dried fruit, vanilla), tobacco isn’t listed as a note but I get cigar as well. Top notch and would stand with more established niche brands in my opinion.
