Delicious Chocolate

I ordered this blind after falling in love w/ BBW Chocolate Amber (discontinued) and Angel. I blame my quest for a good chocolate fragrance on having sampled Guerlain's Elixir Charnel Gourmand Coquin. It has spoiled me. And I can't afford the hefty price right now. So anyways, I sampled the Delicious Chocolate, and at first, I recoiled... well, not really... but was more taken aback by the initial whiff of this stuff. I only sprayed a little on my skin and moved on to other frags I was testing that day. All I thought was... "okay, chocolate. Not sure I'll really want to just smell like that on any given day." So I kind of dismissed it as cheap and stupid and berated myself for buying it blind. A few days later, I was in the mood to give it a real test drive. So, I layered it on top of Chocolate Amber, and really got some good sprays on my body... cleavage, neck, (front and back) and wrists... strong chocolate, of course...and I forgot about it... until about an hour or so later i was sitting watching some tv, and I got this wonderful whiff... and I was surprised by it. So I tucked my nose under my shirt collar to really give myself a sniff... and OH! How pretty and nice. This has a great dry down. I like the tobacco pipe smoke scent as well as the more masculine way it ends up being. Can I pick out any of those listed notes? Not really... some woody, some musk. But its more about the chord it strikes rather than any single notes. The chocolate is there, but I don't think anyone would walk up to me and say "hey, you smell like chocolate!"... in fact I would defy anyone to find that note specifically (post dry down). All in all, this is a fun one. And if you can't afford Angel, or can't find Chocolate Amber (or don't want to pay huge prices for a Bath and Body Works discontinued scent), then I think you might try this one. Let it sit, take it for a test drive. Give it a chance. You may be pleasantly surprised!

this is my new favorite. was on the fence. mainly because i bought it so cheaply. but never one to discriminate, i wore it to work just the same. as soon as i walked out the door and the cold november air hit my skin, I instantly knew. WOW. it is a smooth oriental with a very clean finish. although it is not listed, the main top note is black pepper with a hint of bittersweet chocolate and a base of vanilla. not as chocolate as one would think. but sexy and floraly. is that a word? not cheap. not tacky. went inside and sprayed more. even spritzed my hair. did not become cloying. stopped at the gas station and the men were on me. one introduced himself, one said i smelled BEAUTIFUL, and another must have smelled the chocolate because he ate me up with his eyes. can't wait to try this on a hot sultry night. retains its peppery and chocolate notyes if you press your nose to your skin. LOVELY

For those of you that never got to smell Chocolovers, I am SO sorry! That was absolute Chocolate Perfection. Now Aquolina still forever sells the Pink Sugar we are all so over & left behind the best of the best. Anyway, NO, this isn't Chocolovers, but it isn't bad. This is a Choco scent for a few minutes, turning into an ambery musk. Lasts longer on clothes, I can't smell it on my skin after 15 minutes or so. Gale Hayman's Scents are "Fun" & not too serious. For that reason, I adore my bottle. It does smell like the Chocolat Mat (above), but that does last longer, I have that one also. They have the same Ambery Musk Base. When this came out, KMART sold these for like $12. Ahhh, the good ol' days...NatalieN on Youtube

Kitttymoon, try Amour de Cacao from Comptoir Sud Pacifique for the most intense chocolate taste ever.

I'm surprised by how much I like this, I was expecting something overly sweet, but DELICIOUS CHOCOLAT is the perfect balance between feminine and masculine, so doesn't lean in any direction too much. The chocolate note is prominent, but it is rich and clearly dark, so it isn't milky and sweet. The juicy, softer plum and peach notes blend closely with the lemon notes, again minimizing the sweetness of the notes down. If I have any complaint, it is how the heart and base of the fragrance in fairly linear; the florals aren't strong enough to stand out. Once the woodsy notes develop and mix with fruits and chocolate, the resulting effect is quite spicy. I think that there is patchouli here, to give the blend a rich, earthy tone and perhaps saffron too. Chocolovers is one of my favorite fragrances, but DELICIOUS CHOCOLAT doesn't remind me of it, no matter how much I want it to. I see the resemblance between the notes, but the overall result is different. I nominate Kate Walsh Boyfriend as the closest cousin to this.
