Shade of Chocolate 

Description
Shade of Chocolate explores the darker and more sensual side of gourmand perfumery. It opens with rich cacao, pink pepper and bergamot, creating an immediate contrast between bitterness, warmth and subtle freshness.

In the heart, coffee, black tea and jasmine add texture and depth, giving the fragrance a smooth velvety character that feels elegant rather than overly sweet.

Patchouli, tonka bean and sandalwood create a warm creamy base that lingers beautifully on the skin. The result is a deep, seductive gourmand fragrance with a refined dark chocolate signature.

What makes Shade of Chocolate so special?
Unlike many chocolate fragrances that become overly sugary or dessert-like, Shade of Chocolate remains dark, spicy and sophisticated. The blend of cacao, black tea and coffee creates a mature gourmand character with real depth and texture.

It feels sensual and luxurious while maintaining elegance and balance.

Why is Shade of Chocolate so addictive?
Its addictive quality comes from the contrast between bitter cacao, creamy tonka bean and warm woods. Together they create a rich skin-like warmth that feels comforting and seductive at the same time.

The touch of pink pepper also keeps the fragrance vibrant and continuously evolving on the skin.
