Akro Dark

This is a new one for me and from a relatively new line from Olivier Polge, who is considered by many to be the godfather of the gourmand. I had been looking at it for a while and finally had a chance to try it at Scent Bar in New York. Each of the Akro scents is inspired by a different vice. Dark is inspired by chocolate. This is a fantastic chocolate. It's very wearable. The notes are dark chocolate, cacao, cinnamon, hazelnut, and vanilla. I don't think those are all the notes in the fragrance, though, because at times there's almost a dirtiness to it. It's great and not at all as sickly sweet as it might sound. I'm happy I was able to pick this up.

This sounds so good! As far as I can recall, I don't think I've tried any fragrances with a dominant dark chocolate note. I have tried a few fragrances with cacao and I really enjoy its presence in those fragrances.

Scent Bar must have been very interesting. I have never been to one of their stores - maybe I will go this summer if I'm in that area.
