CiocoRosissimo

This is a stunningly beautiful work of art in perfumery in my opinion. It's a scent full of contrasts and contradictions which work together and play off each other as the fragrance works its olfactory magic. CiocoRosissimo is gourmand and yet earthy, sweet and yet bitter, and it's a paradox that begs to be solved. In the opening, the chocolate and rose are the most prominent...in fact it smells like chocolate covered roses, as the notes are so well blended. There is also a spicy, but still fairly fresh earthiness to the scent from the grass, but in combination with the other notes, it has a patchouli- type scent to it, even though no patchouli is actually present. All through this scent I detect a sort of plastic note that is actually quite pleasant...which is a contradiction in itself. As it dries down, the vanilla comes through, and there is a bittersweet woodsy cacao/vanilla scent that lingers at the end. I wish I could enjoy CiocoRosissimo for longer, but unfortunately it doesn't last as long as I would have liked, which is a shame as it goes on strong but fades quickly. Nevertheless, I still love it and highly recommend this fragrance.

I truly love the comforting qualities of so many perfumes by this brilliant Italian woman. I can't think of another chocolate-rose combo that maintains such a balance between the two. I am more of a rose lover than a chocolate lover, but a few particular perfumes have made me love smelling rather chocolatey sometimes--and this is one of them. This is the smooth creamy chocolate used in a Belgian truffle or Perugian Bacio, with the sweetness cut by a fresh very red rose freshly plucked. One of those very sweet darker roses that project their perfume extra generously in the warm summer twilight. This is chocolate forward, but the rose undertone is so strong you crave to taste a velvety rose petal perhaps more than the obvious delicious chocolate that you probably indulge in regularly, if you are anything like me. Strong but very moderate respectful sillage. The smell of quality and my obsession with roses makes this very full bottle-worthy, I would be more inclined to layer this with another quality rose perfume for personal preferences, but this is sexy, ladylike, and very special as a gourmand. Precious and intoxicating.

I have a love hate relationship with this smell, it's a gorgeous fragrance but at the same time it smells a bit churchy, something a grandma would wear. I could't wear this in public, but at home It's incredible. Edit: I'm completely in LOVE with this now! It evokes some kind of memories in me, memories I'm not even aware of. This fragrance if full of emotions, when I'm wearing it I literally lose my head. This is the most unique fragrance ever so I got me a full bottle. In the beginning I wasn't too sure about it, but the more I wore it the more I realized the ART of it, just gorgeous!

Oh wow, this is delicious, i think i have found my favorite gormand Rose! It so perfectly warm, velvety and totally uplifting! This is making me very happy. The chocolate note is natural & real chocolate. This is a perfect potion, the Rose is gentle & lush Red, but not overwhelming, it quite Balanced. I must have this! The review below is spot on!

I ordered a sample of this a couple of hours ago! I cannot wait for it to arrive, I think i'm gonna love this! I will update when it gets here and let you all know if i do indeed love it!!!
