Desight

Spice and sweetness lead Desight from Once, a 2021 fragrance by Angéline Leporini, with green, woody and aromatic notes in support. It is a cocoa and tobacco composition with a cosy, slightly dark mood.

Pink pepper and assorted spices give a warm, prickly start. Davana adds a boozy, fruity, almost apricot-like note, and tobacco leaf brings a dry, honeyed, hay-like warmth. Cacao pod and cocoa supply a bittersweet, powdery chocolate tone rather than a sugary one, and patchouli lends earthy depth. The base turns smooth and comforting with vanilla and tonka bean, the tonka adding a soft almond warmth.

It is worn by anyone who enjoys warm, spiced gourmands. The tobacco and cocoa profile suits autumn and winter, evenings, cosy weekends and intimate occasions, and it is less suited to hot weather. It should appeal to people who like chocolate notes in perfume but prefer them dry, spicy and grown-up rather than dessert-sweet, and to tobacco lovers looking for something softer.
