Dark Extacy

I admit, I am not really a fully gourmand perfume lover, BUT I got a sample from one of my go-to decant stores and it was true love. I'd walk into work and people would come up and hug me just to a whiff of this amazing "Oriental Vanilla" yummy creation. Dark Extacy is chocolate and vanilla with wonderful woody scents, licorice and even rose. The BEST chocolate perfume I have ever found...and I have been trying to find a replacement but comes close IMO. Any ideas? As always happens with my favs, they no longer make it, and I can't find any anywhere. I actually bought the last decants that BOTH of my perfume places had....no more to be had. Such a sad thing for anyone who has never had a chance to try it. PS: ANYONE WHO HAS SOME TO GET RID OF, I WOULD LOVE TO HELP YOU OUT!!!!!!!

An ultimate choice for winter! The best winter warmer I have ever worn :-) When I close my eyes , I feel like sitting in a romantic cafe in Paris on a winter day, the air is crispy but the smell of slice of tiramisu and a drink of hot bitter chocolate makes me feel warm, makes me actually feel...delicious! Even though it is not a strictly edible fragrance, it has the most wonderful bitter cocoa note one can imagine! I need to stock up before it gets impossible to find! I wish I knew who is behind that gem!!! Lasting power and silage are decent for an Eau De Toilette :-) The bottle is...ever so pretty, naughty, smile inducing. Dark Extacy triggers so many positive emotions and sensations that I consider making it my signature :-)

I'm so sad this is discontinued! I was fortunate enough to receive this in a swap and it is absolutely the best chocolate perfume that I've experienced. Exactly what a chocolate scent should be! Super realistic without being too much. It leans more toward milk chocolate than dark, but is just a perfectly blended fondue. The other notes keep it from being one dimensional, but aren't obvious. I've had and tested so many others (chocolate frags) and they all have something not quite there or have kind of an odd smell compared to Dark Extacy. The only problem is the longevity. After about 2 hours it's just gone, even on clothing.

The opening is unbelievable - true chocolate praline truffle with alcohol. The alcohol is in the chocolate praline, not a scent of its own. Then it is all about chocolate, but one can detect also woody notes, a drop of rose and subtle vanilla. It does not last long on me, or rather it gets very shy after 3 hours during wintertime. But on clothes it lasts 24 hours.

This was my white whale for the longest time after hearing it described (sometimes you just know you're going to love something), and I finally found a bottle that would ship to the US. A risky blind buy, but I have no regrets, this is cocoa perfection (and I'm picky when it comes to chocolate scents). This has even dethroned Guerlain's Gourmand Coquin for me.
