Dark Chocolate, Coffee Bean, and Rum

When this first arrived I was only getting coffee bean from it - for a brief moment on initial application I got that hit of dark chocolate and coffee together that really floats my boat, but then the dark chocolate made a hasty exit stage left. There was a cloud of boozy rum that also quickly dissipated, and all I was left with was dupe of the Guatemalan Volcanic Coffee Bean SN.

 

Time, it needs time! I said. So today I revisit: the initial progression is almost the same, but now the rum transitions from outright boozy into what I think of as a warm and fuzzy rum scent, like in Zipline II (or at least in the same way that one reads on my skin) and the big hit of chocolate becomes a silky ribbon of chocolate in the background.

So it's ultimately very coffee bean forward, and quite nice as a trio, but it turns out I prefer cacao with coffee, bean on bean, instead of chocolate with coffee bean. TMYK 🌈✨

What it says on the tin. On me, it's a pretty equal mix of all three. I would describe this as more chocolate and rum flavored coffee than anything else though. All three notes combine together to make this an earthy, spicy foodie scent. It reminds me of the spiced coffee or Turkish coffee note in other scents.

The rum comes swinging out the door smelling a bit too much like butterscotch and the coffee bean shyly joins the debauchery, but retreats as fast as possible.
