Chocolate Amber Body Mist

I am so glad BBW brought this scent back. When I was a kid, my mom had the lotion of this and I remember sneaking into her room to sniff it like an addict chasing their fix. This smell is extremely nostalgic to me and was my first true introduction to warmer fragrances. My mom loves her white florals so this was the only fragrance of hers I was able to appreciate at a young age. Now for the scent itself, when I tried the new release the lotion at first almost had a salty pee like scent, but after letting it dry down and walking around the store I got hit with that wave of familiarity. It is like the most luxurious dark amber scent and the chocolate isn't too sweet, it is a very elevated complex rich chocolate that merges perfectly with the striking amber. I put this lotion on in front of my vanilla addict friend and she immediately ordered 2 bottles. It is that good.

Smells like a sexy chocolate martini. Skews far more mature by B&BW standards. Never smelled the original, but I very much enjoy this iteration. I get a lot of balance between the notes but I find the amber to be quite strong. The chocolate note is not a very gourmand chocolate like in Choco Musk or Cheriosa 71, but more of a mocha syrup that you'd add to your coffee. Some other reviews mention a possible coffee which I get a whiff of; however, I smell more of an espresso martini than a fresh brew. The initial spray is very alcoholic and it takes a moment for the other notes to develop. I would not recommend blind buying this scent, but I might repurchase the body care for this scent to layer under a more complex and interesting gourmand scent (like Mugler Angel or CK One Shock for her-- both more interesting with prominent choco-vanilla notes)

This smells pretty strong on me. It's perfect for fall and winter. I use it during nighttime. There's this smokey quality to it. The chocolate note isn't a sweet milk chocolate one that kinda smells like chocolate syrup or chocolate frosting. It's a bitter and strong cocoa scent. Like dark chocolate. I love it. I only smell faint vanilla and the dry down is woody and boozy cacao. This is mature and sensual. Not like the usual fruity florals from B&BW. I can picture myself wearing this on a date night. The packaging is exquisite. Lasts about 4 hours on my clothes. This is best paired with any vanilla perfume if you want it sweeter or any chocolate perfume if you want it to be a deeper fragrance.

this is a beautiful, cozy scent for a cold night. while the amber note does remind me of sensual amber, i wouldn't say the two are alike--this has a chocolate (think swiss miss) note and an overall creamier texture, while sensual amber is brighter because of the citrus. on first sniff, this reminded me of cozy vanilla bourbon, but i also wouldn't consider these dupes since i find this to be less fruity and more powdery and ambery. it's got strong notes so it projects quite well initially, but i find that this doesn't last as long on me as some other mists from b&bw, although i could be going noseblind.

I regret to say this is nothing like the OG Chocolate Amber from the early 2000's, however, I am happy and delighted to say this is quite beautiful. I agree with a person who posted a while back saying her child said it smelled like coffee. To me, coffee is the top note. Not overly bitter black coffee, but a lovely top note to elevate the chocolate and amber. I love this stuff, it's perfect for everyday because it smells nice and smooth all the while being a long lasting and comforting scent.
