CHOCOLATE TRUFFLE: This Bergamot Truffle
Eau de Cologne by Payard is citrus with a twist.

The effect is unexpectedly complex. As in a chocolate tasting ritual, allow the notes of` the perfume gradually evolve, unfold and surprise you. A unique creation to be enjoyed by men and women alike. The notes include dark chocolate, Calabrian bergamot, orange flower and Tahitian vanilla ($48 at LuckyScent; $3 for a sample)
