Café Cacao

Incredible bitter chocolate scent. I am lucky enough to have owned a 0.14 oz bottle of the parfum extrait, and have enjoyed lavishing myself in this scent during the cold winter seasons. I have trouble smelling coffee sometimes where coffee is noted in perfume, but these are the notes I do smell: Cuddly warm vanilla, enveloping snuggly amber, dark bitter chocolate, spicy almost cinnamony cardamom, and a milky sugary cream swirling everything together. There is a touch of powdery rose floating over top, the dust over rose flavored loukhoum, but I only smell that having applied a good bit of the perfume to my hand - normally, I don't detect the floral note. The best thing about this perfume is how it just lasts and lasts. I mean...this perfume lasts over 24 hours. When I get in the shower, I can smell this perfume rising off my skin and hair in the steam - and I only apply mere dots on my pulse points. It surrounds me all day in its sweet chocolate embrace, and I get to enjoy it again the next day, reawakened and even warmer and more ambery. It even has slight warm animalic touches, which do give it a slight vintage feel. Really an astonishingly good chocolate scent. Might be the best! I have got to try more from this house :)

This scent is FREAKING AMAZEBALLS! Wearing this, I swear, has calories -- it is like I am literally drinking the most divine mocha, made with the most smooth, heavenly roasted beans, dripping the most divine smooth chocolate, topped with the most delicious whipping cream, and a faint touch of cinnamon, just a little. There are no tannins in this, just delicious chocolate coffee. At the same time, I am eating a decadent sweet piece of chocolate mouse flourless cake. After I am finished, I am enveloped by the heaven scent of sweet chocolatey coffee aroma that lingers all around me for hours. Many hours tick by, when the most divine sweet smooth amber envelops my skin, still faintly chocolate - I just keep wanting to sniff myself. Much more than just chocolate going on here, more than just coffee and chocolate - this is super yummy. It is complex, rich, creamy, delectable, warm, sweet scent. It is not overly sugar sweet - this is more than a candy bar. But it is very HEAVENLY! Highly recommend. It has that sort of complexity of Guerlain's Charnel Elixir Gourmand Coquin. It is different that Coquin. But if you love Coquin - you will LOVE this - maybe more!!

I am not a chocolate/gourmand person with my fragrances but I LOVE this one and want a full bottle. This is the best chocolate frag out there. Nothing else compares. I just wonder when people rate frags if they have no nose though. I could be a nose; so, maybe mine is refined but how can people rank musk lowest?????? This frag is three things: CHOCOLATE, sweet sweet gooey melted chocolate. BOOZE. It is a rummy boozy chocolate. Then MUSK. This dries down into an animalic musk fragrance that is utter chocolate bars having sex.

Usually in perfumes I prefer cocoa bitter powder to chocolate but this is : A M A Z I N G !!! Great balance,quality,longevity..bla bla bla there are no words. The best of drug trio.

I was a little disappointed in the fact reading the name I hyped myself up that there would be more of a coffee sorta vibe. But really this is a chocolate scent. Saying that at first I was pretty shocked at how much this smells like Amber Chocolate from La Via del Profumo. Its got a bit of that same sorta animalistic almost thick sexy sorta chocolate smell to it. This is much more nuanced though. When you smell deeper in the fragrance you get the other notes, and its actually pretty dusty, chalky, dry, almost smokey sorta chocolate. Which saying that im surprised there isnt more talk about this in the fragrance community because although im not particularly horny about all these dry scents a lot of fragcom seems to love them. But thankfully(for me at least maybe)even as it dries down theres still enough of that thick delicious sorta chocolate smell going on, that covers the more dusty aspects. You get a little bit of every note in here if you look for it, and id like to try this in the colder months to see if maybe I get a bit more of that whip cream to add a cool tinge to the fragrance which might be more interesting. In short think of slumberhouses ore as a chocolate bar you have a bit of that, and then you take the Amber chocolate bar if you will and we drizzle it all over that. Combining the 2 frags. And thats basically what I got. Performance was good if not great but it is pretty pricey. Still a must try I think if you enjoy chocolate fragrances.
