Chocolovers

By reading reviews I knew that I'm gonna love this but I had never seen it in local sites and shopes,today I saw it in a perfume shop(1 Oz for 45 bucks)and grabbed a bottle I'm really shocked that there's no coffee,cocoa or chocolate notes.it's almost Identical to montale chocolate greedy,one of my favorite gourmands,I can get hazelnut chocolate blended with orange,cocoa and vanilla... It's very delicious and a must have for gourmand lovers... Can't believe why they have discontinued such a gem?!! It has unbelievable quality for it's price,the heaven of all chocolovers... It's an orangey Nutella, hmmm Longevity and sillage are both very good,after 4 hours it still has very good sillage Probably I'm gonna buy back ups because I want to always have it in my collection as I love montale which is more chocolatey and less orangey It has a cute bottle however mine,has a dark yellowish juice. I think maybe because it's an aged bottle but it's scent doesn't seem to have problem.it just opens with lots of alcohol like most aged perfumes but alcohol fades in seconds and your left with a cup of warm,delicious hazelnut hot chocolate with an orange slice on cop's side ❤❤❤❤❤ P.s: layered black opium with this and I'm in pure heaven.hmmmm Gonna try it with armani code satin and angel muse to see the result.it also layers very well with masculine Colognes.my husband tried it with guerlain l'instant and it's perfect.I think it also goes well with leathery perfumes از تمام سایت های عطر ایران،عاجزانه تقاضا میکنم عطرهای آکولینا رو موجود کنن،قبل اینکه همه شون مثل شوکولاور دی سی بشن،عطرهای خوشمزه محشری داره با قیمت عالی و پخش و موندگاری عالیتر شوکولاور شباهت زیادی به مونتاله چاکلت گریدی داره و من عمیقا جا خوردم وقتی دیدم تو نت هاش خبری از شکلات و کاکائو نیست..البته شوکولاور پرتقالی تر از مونتال هست،عطر مونتال پودری و تو درای داون خشک تر هست و قهوه هم داره اما شوکولاور دقیقا مثل یه فنجون هات چاکلت فندقیه با یه برش پرتقال یا اگه دقیقا مثل نوتلا شیکی هست ک گرم باشه و با پرتقال میکس شده باشه،بی نهایت خوشمزه و خوردنیه و از لحاظ رایحه کوچکترین شباهتی ب پینک شوگر نداره(ک اونم ب نوبه خودش محشرههه) مناسب هوای سرده و بنظر من مثل چاکلت گریدی میتونه یونیسکس باشه،البته فقط برای آقایون خوشمزه پسند و بنظر من جدا از اینکه به تنهایی عطر محشری هست،بعنوان عطر برای لیر کردن و استفاده همزمان با عطرهای دیگه فوق العاده پرکاربرده.. بشخصه با بلک اوپیوم، انجل موس و آرمانی کد ساتین استفاده کردمش نتیجه محشر بوده،همسرم هم با گرلن ل اینستنت و اکثر عطرهای موگله امتحانش کرده،فک کنم با عطرهای چرمی هم خیلی خوب میکس بشه موندگاری نسبتاً خوب و پخش عالی داره..جای تاسف فراوانه ک این عطر دی سی شده من ک انقد عاشقش شدم ک همین ک تعدادی از این عطر رو پیدا کردم همه رو خریدم(30 میل هستن)همچنین کرم بدن برنزه ش رو اما اگه کسی تمایل داشت چن تاش رو میفروشم یا باعطر دیگه عوض میکنم چون میترسم تا این چن تا شیشه ای که دارم رو تموم کنم بقیه خراب شن

My my this beauty smells like holiday time back when i was a kid & my mom would make sweets and bake pastries...haaaa (sigh)...wonderful blitz of Hazelnut and orange zest in the opening...it's lovely and very dominant...But the hazelnut wins over all of the other notes...I keep getting a chocolate note, but there's no chocolate note of any kind. It smells like Nutella & Rochelle chocolates... I honestly went out and bought both of them to, just to sniff and to pig out on. Sigh... If you love Gourmands and you like hazelnut base fragrance...This is for you! I wanna go home and break out my food processor, and toss in hazelnuts, vanilla, nutmeg, brown sugar, coco powder, milk chocolate, salt & some olive oil... then make some home made waffle from scratch & smear on my homemade nutella on the waffle and go to town...Yum...Sorry having a fatboy flashback. This is a happy, comforting...safe scent. Perfect for cuddle time with your other half. Wear this and go for a walk in central park or on the pier. Over all must have in your collection. I used six sprays...both wrist, back & front of my neck, chest and front of my shirt. Will I buy this again?...Yes. Does this fragrance enter BEAST MODE, good, just okay or weak sauce at best? Beast Mode. What's the strength of this? EDT. Am i willing to trade this fragrance? NOPE! Should You Skipped It, Sample It First or Blind Buy It?

When I was a little girl and my mom and older sister went to department stores and got perfume samples, they'd give them to me and I saved them for my dolls to have their own 'vanity' of perfumes. None of them were as memorable to me, and made me desperately want to have a perfume collection of my own when I can be grown, as Aquolina's Chocolovers. Unfortunately, it was discontinued by the time I was old enough to have my own collection, but I remembered that treasured little red-capped sample to this day adorned with its kitschy hearts and bought myself two 15mL decants. It is so, so, so very different than any other 'chocolate' gourmand on the market, it is actually way more niche smelling and unusual, despite what your assumptions may be from the same company that made Pink Sugar -- this is unlike anything else you'll have ever smelled. One thing to note, is that from my bottle and most others' nowadays -- the citrus top notes have evaporated away. However, this makes the fragrance even BETTER than it did when it first came out (and I remember how it smelled when it did) because while the tangy citrusy opening and does give a lovely gourmand chocolate orange feeling, what really makes this exceptional is how dry, slightly bitter, and incredibly NUTTY the hazelnut note is. It's not a saccharine Nutella hazelnut, it's a true, dry, raw, "spice rack" hazelnut, and it's absolutely sublime. The vanilla and patchouli adds some creaminess and a touch of sweetness to it, but even the vanilla is an authentic, bitter vanilla bean. None of the dupes listed are quite like this -- this isn't a milk chocolate fragrance, this is a true dry and nutty hazelnut with some sweet and woody tones to surround it. But at its core, it's as raw and true of a hazelnut as I've ever smelled in a perfume. I will never understand why this was axed, but even for its exorbitant price on eBay, it is worth it, because it truly is that remarkable!

I have a weakness for gourmand fragrances, and Chocolovers tops my list. I actually prefer it to Angel, Hanae Mori, Fancy, Pink Candy, and Prada Candy (though these are excellent gourmands that I've enjoyed, as well). There is something about the combination of chocolate and patchouli that sends me into flights of ecstasy (I'm not sure why Fragrantica doesn't have patchouli listed as a note, because it is extremely prominent here). Patchouli adds depth to cocoa, taking it from milk chocolate to a bitter, dark chocolate. The dryness of the coriander prevents the chocolate from being overly sweet. The addition of orange here adds another layer to the gourmand aspect and helps to bring a tartness and tang to the rich chocolate. The combination is perfection. I would classify typical gourmands as "cozy," but Chocolovers is different: it is sexy and and slightly aggessive. You don't wear this for comfort, you wear this when you want to seduce ;) This lasts an incredibly long time on skin and clothing, and it definitely garners compliments. If you like gourmands but feel that many of the gourmands available on the market are too "young" or girlish, this could be a more sophisticated option. It does fall under the category of a "heavy" fragrance, in my opinion, so if you are sensitive or need something light, it might not be for you. This is more appropriate at night and in the cooler months. It could be overwhelming in the summer. Overall, this is one of the best (and most underrated) gourmands out there. Update: Just read through some other reviews and noticed many people talking about this being discontinued? What a shame, if that is true.

With a name like "Chocolovers" it has to have chocolate in it! This is devine! I can't add to anyone's review other than NOW I will write Aquolina and beg and plead that they bring this back. First spray is the strongest chocolate part, then hazelnut and orange and all other notes are barely detectable. Once the yummo part fades, there is a slight lily-of-the valley if you REALLY concentrate... it is very close to the skin after 5 minutes. But I've been sniffing perfume all day... so will try again tomorrow with clean skin and a clean nose. I think this blends well with its sister, Pink Sugar. So far, my favorite chocolate scent. More later if things change. Later: Ok, I wrote to Aquolina in Italy. Their short response was: This is no longer being manufactured.." Well, no shit Sherlock!... that isn't what I asked. SO, there you have it. Get them while you can... oh, and it really is very short lived on the skin and on clothes... so... if anyone has a suggestion for something similar (hazelnut, chocolate and orange with longevity... please do tell!) Later still: So, I bought the AMOUR DE CACAO COMPTOIR SUD PACIFIQUE because of the reviews and the "This perfume reminds me of" feature above the reviews and I did a side by side test... and OMG.... I can not tell the difference. Now, I'm not a high falooting scent snob, so if you think you can tell the difference, more power to ya baby. I for one will no longer be bidding on the discontinued CHOCOLOVERS on ebay and paying crazy stupid high prices for 1.7 oz. bottle. I can buy the ADC and get twice as much for almost half the price.... and people, I'm here to tell you... its the same stuff.
