It’s fresh, almost paper-like, in how clean it smells. I really can’t stop sniffing it.NotesPear, apple, orange blossom, ambrette, white musk, jasmine, Iso E Super, moss, ambroxideFashion label Tibi collaborated with fragrance house Abel to create this scent that actually wafted through the room during their S/S 2027 show during New York Fashion Week.

Like cheap chocolate syrup. But of course, Dedcool’s Mocha Magic defies all that came before it. It’s not overwhelmingly mocha; the mix of espresso notes and nutty biscotti and toffee elevates this fragrance so much. It’s warm and cozy but somehow not sickly sweet.
