Pure vanilla opening, followed by cocoa, chocolate and rum. There's a mustiness to counteract the sweetness that must come from the cumin. Unexpectedly, vetiver emerges, along with a rose note, I'm sure, although it's not listed. There are toasted nuts and a sheen of PVC over it all.
What all this has to do with frustration I have no idea, unless it's counteracting all your frustrations by gorging on your favourite edibles and drinkables while dressed in a polyvinyl gimp suit. Like most ELDO fragrances, it's not as edgy as the description promises, but it's a very pleasant and mildly eccentric creation, and I like it a lot (though probably not enough to invest in a full bottle.)
