Cacao

"I create the chocolate alcohol (that is the foundation of the perfume) by tincturing deeply aromatic cocoa beans with very floral Tahitian vanilla beans. Using both grandiflorum and sambac jasmines, their richness marries well with the full chocolate base." Seems everyone is getting something different from this lol With me it starts with rich orange chocolate (that only lasts 10 min), then indolic jasmine & powdery vanilla dominates while the ghostly chocolate wafts in and out; interestingly, it does smell like Tootsie Roll during the transition! If the short opening kept its strong presence throughout the wear, it would've been my favorite of the brand.

This is by far and away the best aroma I have ever smelled. I was in a chocolate shop when I first smelled this product and I actually swooned. I could bath in it if it wasn't so expensive. I got a bottle for Valentines Day, a teeny tiny bottle that I only unscrew the top on and smell it. The scent does not last on my skin but I could smell the bottle all day. It is addicting!!!

216) Orangette Confit de pelure d'orange (sanguine) enrobé de chocolat noir (mais cette note de chocolat est presque inexistante). Miam! Ce parfum est principallement de type fruité, avec l'acidité du pamplemousse et du jasmin frais très présent. Le chocolat et la vanille apporte juste une touche comestible mais sont peu perceptibles.

This smells like an orange tootsie roll pop. I find the this smells like feces comments bizarre.

I'm sure there's someone on whom this is tolerable, but it's not me, and I know many other perfumistas who dislike this. Read the reviews on MUA before buying this. The jasmine note is so strong and indolic, the overall effect of this perfume is a fecal. When I first tried it, I thought it was a joke perfume. I'm not kidding. Do not buy unsniffed!
