Opens with a massive dose of camphor and green-grey patchouli leaves (not the hippy oil you might be expecting) with a heavy underpinning of various rainforest notes; wet wood, a distant tree in flower, cut tobacco etc, then WHAM, a cocoa suckerpunch flies right out at you in the midst of all that verdure. Wears long and hard, keeps mainly to those central notes with a few spicy, sandal-y elements chiming in as it dries down. Smells better on my (male) partner than on me, darn it, but very rich, exotic, OTT, memorable. Not for everyone, for sure, but a brutal classic nonetheless.
