Vicky Essence Rocío Gourmand Drops
Vicky Essence Rocío Gourmand Drops Eau de Parfum 100ml, from Vicky Martin Berrocal, is a sweet and comfortable perfume built on cocoa, and it makes no attempt to be anything else.
Cocoa is the material that defines the finish. It is used dry rather than as chocolate, closer to unsweetened powder than to a bar, and vanilla sits beside it to supply the sweetness while musk keeps the pair soft and close to the skin. That combination is the reason to buy it and the thing people will notice when they get near you.
The opening is brighter than the base would suggest. Mandarin orange gives an immediate juicy lift and ginger a warm, slightly peppery bite that stops the sweetness arriving too early. It is a short phase but a good one, and it keeps the first ten minutes from being heavy.
In the middle, jasmine adds a white floral richness and lavender a clean herbal calm, and the lavender is the more surprising of the two, since it holds the fragrance back from turning into a dessert entirely. Seven materials in total, which makes this a fairly direct composition rather than a complicated one, and the pleasure of it is in the comfort rather than in any puzzle.
At eau de parfum strength it lasts well and stays fairly close after the first hour, so it is wearable at work as well as at night. Cold weather and evenings suit it, and the 100ml bottle at this price makes it easy to wear generously. The line is Spanish, launched in 2018 under the name Vicky Essence and developed with the perfume company Nuvaria rather than by the designer herself. It sells mainly through Spanish perfumery chains at accessible prices, and flamenco and Andalusian imagery run all the way through the range.
