Hysteric

Hysteric by Laurent Mazzone Parfums, released in 2018 for anyone to wear, is a sweet, floral citrus built around coffee and chocolate. Everyone who describes it calls it gourmand, floral and citrus, and about half add spicy or woody, so it is a dessert scent with a bright, flowery side.

The notes come as a single list. Bergamot and mandarin orange give a juicy citrus opening, with cardamom adding a warm, aromatic spice. Rose and jasmine bring a rich floral heart that sits against the sweetness rather than under it. The gourmand side is coffee, cocoa and cacao pod for a roasted, bitter-sweet depth, tiramisu for a creamy, boozy dessert note, and whiskey for a dry, oaky warmth. Patchouli gives the base an earthy, dark edge that keeps the sweetness in check.

Reports on how it wears are still few. Its character suits cold weather and evenings, for someone who likes coffee and chocolate scents but wants roses and citrus to lift them.
