Angel - Le Goût du Parfum

The cocoa powder hits first—dusted, almost savoury—immediately joined by bright citrus that attempts an escape route. Within moments, bergamot and mandarin establish themselves as the opening's primary characters, all neroli-like sparkling clarity that feels almost crisp against the cocoa's soft brown background.

Apricot and passion fruit emerge with considerable intensity, their stone-fruit sweetness building into something almost candied, whilst peach adds a velvety warmth. The composition shifts from citrus-cocoa brightness into a richer, more enveloping fruitiness where everything begins to feel slightly sticky and decadent.

Patchouli surfaces with earthy insistence, anchoring the chocolate and caramel that deepen considerably, becoming increasingly dark and resinous. The powdery accord settles across everything like confectioner's dust, creating a soft, amber-toned base that clings gently to skin rather than projecting, growing increasingly intimate as the hours pass.
