Blue Agava & Cacao

Blue Agava & Cacao opens on a bright, spiced citrus accord: cardamom and grapefruit lifted by lime blossom and a touch of red berries. The top is lively and slightly tart before settling into a floral heart of orchid, lily and geranium, which keeps the composition from tipping into pure dessert territory.

The base is where this 2006 Jo Malone release earns its warm-spicy reputation: cacao and vanilla pod dominate, threaded with cinnamon, vetiver and musk for a dry, powdery finish. Collectors should expect a bittersweet chocolate-vanilla character rather than a sugary gourmand, with the cacao accord reading strongly alongside the spice. It suits wearers who want an oriental floral with real warmth for cool weather and evening wear, and those who appreciate a powdery, spiced drydown. Discontinued and sought after, it is best sampled on skin to judge how the cacao and cinnamon develop.

呢支 2006 年 Jo Malone 作品以荳蔻、青檸花、西柚同紅莓開場，柑橘帶點辛香同微酸，之後過渡到蘭花、百合同天竺葵嘅花香核心，令整體唔會太甜膩。基調係可可、雲呢拿莢、肉桂、香根草同麝香，暖辛同可可氣息最突出，收尾帶粉感同乾爽木質。整體係東方花香調，偏向苦甜朱古力加雲呢拿，而唔係糖漿式美食調。適合鍾意暖辛、粉感乾燥收尾嘅用家，秋冬夜晚或正式場合都啱；已停產，建議上皮試香，睇吓可可同肉桂點樣發展。
