I was expecting straight chocolate, but the Mexican vanilla and cinnamon round it into something warmer and almost smoky. Lasts a solid six hours on my skin, longer on a scarf. The cocoa absolute is the real thing, not sweet and fake.

The chili infusion keeps this from being a sugar bomb — it's warm and spicy on my skin, not dessert-sweet. Cocoa absolute and vanilla come through after about twenty minutes, and I've been reaching for it on cold evenings ever since.
