Guilty Pleasures

I really didn't know what to say about this one. I don't hate it but I'm not in love with it either. It's definitely chocolate-y but it's the Yoo-hoo drink kind of chocolate, not a milky chocolate. I could never stand the taste of Yoo-hoo...thin, watery, bland and not creamy at all. When I first smelled this, I was happy that I only got a 15 ML. However, and this happens all the time with me, somewhere along the way this one got better by just hanging out in my drawer. I don't know if it was the result of maceration/maturation or if that theory is all in my head sometimes. Like a self fulfilling prophecy...believe it will happen and it will. Whatever...I like this now a lot more than I liked it when I received it about 5 months ago. It's a watery chocolate, very sweet and I can see why people listed "Althair" in the "Reminds Me Of Section"...after this dries down, I can totally spot the similarities. This is like a chocolate "Althair".

Oh my goodness. THIS is what I wanted 7 Minutes from Kheir to be. This is the most sexy, sophisticated chocolate gourmand fragrance EVER. I am in LOVE. The chocolate and caramel are so present and there is a beautiful ambery vanilla at the base. I swear I smell honey in this although it's not listed on the notes. This smells like chocolate GOLD. I am absolutely obsessed. If you want to smell edible and delicious but still luxe, rich, and chic, this is it. This is what I imagine all the Dubai baddies to smell like. I will have to report back on longevity. But this is by FAR my favorite from the house. I haven't gotten my nose on the mango perfume yet. The same girl who wears Baccarat Rouge would wear Guilty Pleasures. No, they do not smell the same. But they evoke the exact same vibe. Rating: 10/10

Oh my gosh, i love it so much! Instant buy. Wish it was a tad stronger but cant have everything. Just the right amount of sweet caramel, cacao, and warm spices. Reminds me a bit of Arabesque by Merchant of Venice sans tobacco. Perfect sweater weather fragrance.

this is a very pretty warm spicy citrusy boozy nutty dessert scent. kind of gingerbread ish but without the cookie.... also like those liquer filled chocolates you get around christmas. well done unisex

This is not the cacao you’re looking for. My bad on this one, as it’s so close to Althair which is not my favorite profile. I was hoping the bitter orange and chocolate/cacao would be more pronounced, and to be fair they are the notes that elevate this above Althair. Even with those, though, this will probably never be more than a like. Great news is that my husband, for whom I purchased this, loves them both and since they are his, it’s a win.
