Dark Desires For Him

Dark Desires For Him is the men's eau de toilette that pairs with the women's Dark Desires eau de parfum from Ann Summers. It comes in a 100ml spray and a 10ml purse spray in a black glass bottle with a black cap. The brand says it is infused with pheromones, which is a marketing claim, and calls it a bold, untamed fragrance that pushes boundaries and ignites a fierce passion. The sources disagree on the notes, and this is the main gap in the record. Two retailer listings, one of them sold by Ann Summers Limited itself, agree on lemon on top, rose and ylang in the heart and tonka bean in the base, with mandarin, orange blossom, cedarwood, pear and sandalwood each named by one of them. The product shot on the brand's own page shows lime, green apple and a purple flower, which fits that citrus and floral reading. The brand's own text lists rum, cistus, bergamot, oakmoss, myrrh, cinnamon, vanilla, musk and labdanum, word for word the same as its Decadent women's perfume, so it looks like pasted text. This dossier follows the retailer lists and keeps the brand-page list in the notes file. Read by those notes, it should be a bright citrus opening, a soft rose and ylang heart, and a warm, woody, slightly sweet base. These are readings of the notes, not wear-test results. The brand lists it as vegan and cruelty-free. No perfumer or launch year is named. Customers on shop pages call it a lovely scent, good value and a nice after shave, with mixed views on staying power. A casual and evening pick for people who want a budget citrus-woody scent.
