Centzon Totochtin

Bittersweet Mexican cocoa with rum, red wine, and a scent redolent of sacrificial blood.

I was hoping for more cocoa out of this one. I think maybe the rum and blood combo turns into something sweet and chewy. And also a little creepy. The cocoa and wine never really come into their own, and those are the two notes that would have sold me. That blood scent is really off-putting for me.

2/5

This smells soo boozey to me. It reminds me of backrooms where old beer cans have been tossed, or a hallway that I used to walk through the get to an apartment - it was connected to the bar. I don't smell any cocoa at all.
