De Licious

the patchouli-chocolate tandem is very similar to armani iris celadon, only that one develops into mate-iris and this goes to sweet woody musk. however, despite a somewhat similar smell, renier falls flat if compared to celadon....It smells nice but not delicious to my nose, I think their 2021 nights shouldve been called delicious instead. a typical Carbonnel's base, if you smelled his other works you'll instantly recognise it.

A beautiful, bitter dark chocolate scent with nice anise and fruitiness. Smells expensive and quality. This makes my tongue water, the combination of bitterness and balanced sweetness hits my senses, even that I couldn't wear this myself. The animality is just right and on the right person, this scent speaks of the wearer's strength and self-confidence. There is nothing offensive here, it's just too bitter for me.

I've bought full of this serie, i liked them all but 2 of them are beast, 2 of them smells great! De licious is in the beast side about sillage and longevity. Smells also great! But for me Genious is the winner for smell and performance!

This is really an art! Very realistic dark chocolate bit dirty with fruity background.. it is gourmand, a very unique gourmand.. not similar with symphonium at all!

Beastly performance. Takes over an entire area when sprayed. Very dry woods, dark patchouli, sweet citruses, propolis and then a musky animalic backbone. You have to really love patchouli to like this one honestly as it is so thick. It's very much a dark chocolatey patchouli. To me it just all feels a bit busy. Too many things trying to get my attention. I reckon if there was a version of this without any patchouli or chocolate notes and turned into a fruity animalic floral I reckon it would have been a great hit. If I want to enjoy a chocolatey animalic masterpiece, I'd just wear Mxxx.
