MESSAGE BY SENSE
After seeing all the controversy, I had to smell this for myself. I ordered it here, as it isn't in stores nearby. I can see why this polarizes people - the first blast is a shock. I'm not sure about all the notes, but it seemed to have a big blast of patchouli, and along with the alcohol carrier it's almost skunky. This lasted for quite awhile, and then the feral sharpness began to balance with sweeter notes. After about 15 minutes, the sweetness began to predominate, and I began to like it. Finally, awhile later, I began to get the chocolate vibe. So to me, there were four discreet stages, and I really liked the final result. And for several hours every so often I'd get another nice waft, with yet more subtle differences. This was a valuable lesson for me, because I generally reject a cologne if I don't like the top notes. This was also the most complex drydown I've experienced. But yes, it's easy not to like, just mega-strong: if you do more than a couple shots, don't say I didn't warn you. To me, the smells are palpably sexual. I know that some of us like certain very strong sex smells, and some don't. Maybe this works like similarly to that. An image comes to mind... a woman who is super-hot and gets you very aroused. She also drinks too much and likes dangerous sex.
