🍬 The Inspiration: The Dark Sweet
Absinthe and dark chocolate. Black Licorice Truffle is the Gourmand version. It sweetens the Anise/Absinthe with Vanilla and Cocoa. It is dark, sticky, and herbal-sweet.
🧪 The Olfactory Architecture: Sugar and Anise
The scent opens with Star Anise. The heart is Black Licorice and Dark Chocolate. The base is Vanilla. It is addictive.
