Noir Aphrodisiaque

I love this Kilian fragrance because it has a heavenly scent that lasts far longer than many of the House’s other offerings. It is simply beautiful in part because it is beautifully simple. There are only 5 notes listed, but they are high quality and blended in a way that works from the opening spray and transforms subtly over the hours it lasts. It is far more than a skin scent, but not a beast, although I would not wear it in summer. If I compare it to a couple wonderful dark chocolate scents such as Amber Chocolate Abdes Salaam Attars Perfumes, it is lighter as the amber in the latter is a dominant and long-lasting note. AC is more wintery to me and more suited for evening, but the blending is nicely done. If you want another great dark chocolate, then I would recommend Pasion Choco by Nishane. It contains many more notes, yet it is a much lighter scent in terms of its overall effect. It is, as someone has already written "sweet, sour and spicy". And yet it is the one that fades the fastest of the three. This for me is a warm weather choice. Is NA the best? Each are high quality fragrances, but I do find the potential sex appeal in Kilian more present than the others. Overall an 8.5. Each time I put it on I tend to like it even more, so this may trend higher when the weather changes and I pull it out more often.

I was fortunate enough to score a bottle here in the US. It was very hard to find but I got it! Boy was I not disappointed. This is hands down the best chocolate scent I’ve ever smelled. It opens citrusy with orange and immediately you get a warm melted chocolate. Reminiscent of those orange chocolate you gotta smack on the table to break. After it starts to dry down...it just gets even better. The closest I can describe it is Abuelita, the Mexican hot chocolate. Spicy, dense, rich, but powdery. Like before you melt the chocolate in the milk. It’s a fragrance that 1000% lives up to its name. If I were to smell this on someone else, It would draw me in.

Wow. Excellent scent and beautifully blended. The chocolate is not harsh and the cinnamon perfectly complement the bergamot. It has a certain sensual aspect to it that makes you want to smell it over and over again. It may not have a lot of listed notes, but the few that it has works in great harmony to create one of the best scents I've smelled in a while. But then again, for the price point of this one I'd expect it to knock it out of the park. Save this for your special occasions only!

I have been trying to find a "chocolate" scent to replace my La Perla Dark Ectasy, a huge chocolate bomb that is long gone (sniff, tear :( This is not it, but it is a lovely smell anyway. Starts out on me with a nice citrus-chcocolate, a bitter whiff that settles into a softer bergamot- cinnamon-chocolate that is comfy but not strong. After a couple hours, I can barely smell it, which makes me sad. I really would consider a bottle if it didn't have a mediocre longevity and high $$$$.
