What do reviewers say about Shade of Chocolate and Ebano?
This is a gourmand that doesn't flinch. No marshmallow softness, no vanilla. Rich cacao and dark-roasted coffee own the composition, with jasmine and tonka bean adding complexity instead of sweetness.Shade of Chocolate
Sweet-smoky is easy to get wrong, too much of either and it falls apart. Ebano doesn't. The cocoa and incense don't compete; they negotiate. Result: a fragrance that smells like a decision.Ebano
