BPAL description: Voluptuous and indulgent! A deep chocolate scent, with black cherry and orange blossom.
In the bottle: Extremely pale yellow oil. Sweet, but not too much so. Not that foody. The chocolate is like a high cocoa-milk version. Orange blossom is surprisingly bright and orangey, much stronger than the cherry.
Wet: Much more cherry, less chocolatey and sweet. Smells like Maraschino, not black cherry - artificial. VERY fruity in combo with the orange, which is more fruit than flower.
Dry: Now the orange fruit begins to fade and the blossom emerges. Cherry has backed down a bit, and chocolate is even fainter. Going a tad soapy.
Later: The cherry's a bit less artificial, the orange blossom much more floral. That orange blossom is also a bit powdery. Chocolate, where are you?
Summary: Orange blossom first and foremost, with some orange fruit and a hint of soap, then slightly artificial cherry, and if straining, a faint hint of hot cocoa. Low throw, weak lasting power.
