Ingredients

Milk Chocolate (sugar, Whole Milk. Cocoa Butter, Chocolate Liquor, Soy Lecithin [an Emulsifier] And Vanillin (an Artificial Flavor]), Almonds, Sugar, Cocoa Powder, Confectioner's Glaze (lac-resin), Acacia (gum Arabic), Corn Syrup And Tapioca Dextrin.

* It's not a smooth, creamy or juicy vanilla. . . very dry texture (not a bad thing, but not what I expected based on the rave online reviews, n what I smelt on someone else long ago n recently). . . The vanilla on my skin is somewhat artificial. . . like the bottled vanilla essence used to flavor cakes n icecreams at home. . . It's not crazy sweet though! Thank God!

* Nothing dark about the chocolate. . . Nothing chocolate about the chocolate either! Can't smell it at all! Not in a molten or glazed sense anyway. . . It's more like hot cocoa pre-mix powder, that u get in a store-bought tin can, only dusty/mealy. . . Comes from the Tonka note i think. The overall vanilla-chocolate combo is more 'powdered biscuity', than 'moist cakey' or liquidy, if that makes sense.

* The citruses here are surprisingly full-bodied n not sparkly or transparent, which I like in this specific blend.

* Haven't caught any rose or litchi notes at all throughout its longevity Till date! Not sure why.

* Longevity - I want to say 2 hrs, but I also want to say 10+ hrs! Can't say for sure coz it's such a mild scent n it's supposed to be that way? or the scent eventually fades but the remnants still remain on skin after so many hours. Either way I have to really put my nose to the skin after the 1 hour mark, once the citruses have disappeared.

* Projection/sillage - Very intimate within 15-30 mins, once the citruses start to calm down. This is a very quiet skin scent at the exact 'decibel level' I like for a bed scent. Absolutely love that!

* Unisex - coz u can hardly smell it!

* Excellent layering fragrance though; no doubt

* Soft, gentle, delicate. . . Yes!

* Cozy or fuzzy - No. . . I wanted that so bad, texturally speaking

Soothing/Comforting - On the fence, leaning towards no, but wanted that so bad too. The only aspect here is my own childhood nostalgia. . . It has that old-school powdery and lipsticky vibe that I hate, but in this fragrance, I don't mind it for some reason. . . Something you may probably relate to is, that peach coloured face powder (popular in the 70s n 80s) that our mothers n grandmothers used to use. . . The packaging was a peach/tan colored, hard cardboard circular container. . . that had a giant n fluffy turkish towel like powder puff.

*Warm - No. It's luke-warm on my skin, which eventually turns to room temperature.

* All weather n seasons appropriate for its luke-warm n light, powdery (borderline chalky) nature

* Is the fragrance rocking my world as a regular scent or a bed scent? No, but its growing on me slowly. . . Not sure if I'll repurchase it. . . Or may be I will! Donno yet.

* Does this fragrance make me happy? - It makes me 'ponder smile'. . . and then I look at the dent in my wallet

* Value for money - Depends on how much/if it grows on me eventually. But for now, I don't see it.

* If I run out of it, will i be missing something in life? - No for sure.

*Lesson learnt for the Nth time - Don't buy frags based on what they smell on someone else (even if they smell amazing!), or what YouTube says, or what Fragrantica comments section says. N yet when will i learn my lesson??!
