fairnymph Report post Posted June 5, 2010 Dark roasted meat; savoury, like CHKX27 - these two together are like BTOD1 and 2 from the previous trunk show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zankoku_zen Report post Posted June 13, 2018 Okay, so Goat 17 I don't think is actually like CHKX27. This is actually like a Mother Shub's Box of Dessert blend from the Yules. I get a ton of chocolate/dark cocoa going on. And there's a light almost lemony blend. This is like if Bliss and Embalming Fluid had a baby. A sort of weird, odd baby. But for those of you that both love chocolate and odd chocolates, give this a whirl. Foodie chocolate with just a hint of lemon. Sugary, foodie, fresh.

bookandbroom Report post Posted June 17, 2018 I'm with zankoku_zen - this is a wacky chocolate treat. I'm pretty sure there's some ginger in there as well, as (when wet at least) it smells notably like the batter for a cake I make with ground and fresh ginger. I'm not a big wearer of chocolate but I would like to eat this, which is my way of saying it's good, if it's the kind of thing you're into! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zorra Report post Posted September 19, 2021 Sniffing the bottle I smell a dark chocolate or cacao note, once on my skin the chocolate/cacao disappears and it turns into a herbal lemon note. I should add that I seem to be amping this herbal lemon note, because it seems to dominate a few other scents I have. On someone else the chocolate might still be there, which would make it more interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cali Report post Posted March 2, 2023 Herbally, meat-spice-y, lemony- and chocolate at the front. Uhh. Not for me but i'm sure someone will love this! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bheansidhe Report post Posted November 2, 2023 Obviously bottled in 2010, so considerable bottle-aged by now. I do not (blessedly) get meat. Primarily I get chocolate that vibes as both a creamy milk chocolate and a sprinkle of dark bittersweet shavings. It's modulated with some spice - allspice, or ginger and/or cardamom - plus something that could be a tiny tinge of a dark, animalistic or "smutty" musk. Sniffed in the bottle there are in fact some lemony-herbal notes (like verbena) that don't translate to my skin. This reads like a Box of Bonbons proto, and is actually quite a pleasant chocolate blend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Billie Report post Posted November 27, 2023 Lemon verbena dark chocolate truffle -- creamy, herbaceous, rich, and fresh all at once. Quite nice and might be good for layering with a booze or earth note. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Threemoons Report post Posted May 21 Got this as a frottle with a big order; loving it. Not getting the meat, but getting lots of herby dark chocolate with lemon -- think a very high end bonbon. Really liking it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
