Choco Overdose

The review section is a good example of how you really cannot please everyone and how different our noses are. Some are disappointed it doesn't smell like chocolate, some dislike it because it smells LIKE chocolate. (I don't know what that person was expecting considering this is called CHOCO OVERDOSE lol) I left an initial review in September of 2025 which was just first impressions but I wanted to do a review as someone who has had it for almost 4 months so I deleted my previous. Here is my honest take: This is my favourite chocolate perfume, and I still stand by my first impression where I stated it smelled like thick chocolate fudge mixed with some booze, this is definitely not a chocolate bar. Though I can understand the similarity with Velvet Chocolate by Theodoros Kalotinis, Choco Overdose has a very deep and warm amber base that almost leans masculine to some. It took a while for me to really appreciate it as I was fairly new to fragrances and perfume collecting at the time of my purchase, but now I can't really appreciate any other chocolate fragrance that isn't as dense and boozy as this. As for longevity, I really have to overspray this on my clothes to make it last. On my skin it turns ambery very fast. I think the best combo is when I layer this with Nebras (Eilish dupe) or Cookie Crave, the other one from the Give Me Gourmand line. Yeah the bottle design is over-the-top but sometimes it's okay to have something cute and whimsy. That's what life is about. (Though honestly it's not as flimsy as one would think. The bottle and cap are very weighted.) The only gripes I have is that I find it hard to grip and get a good spray cos of how wide it is, and I hate how it's 70ml instead of 100ml. I already have a visible dent on mine. But anyway I don't mind purchasing a backup bottle of this as I find it a staple in my perfume faves.

Tried this in a store. It smells exactly like the slightly synthetic hot chocolate you get at car dealerships or hospitals in my country (Denmark), which I'm obsessed with. That grainy, creamy, crumby hot chocolate in a paper cup. It's everything I want in a chocolate fragrance, and definitely the only one of the Give Me Gourmand I've tried smelling that was sweet enough for me. I'm not gonna buy it anytime soon, but that's because I have enough perfume for now, and I want to consume them. But this one is definitely on my to-buy list. Packaging is cute too, obviously.

I bought this just for fun, thinking it would probably be body-spray tier, but it's actually majestic. Yes it smells like a dessert, but like...an EXPENSIVE dessert. Dark chocolate, Mexican vanilla, some kind of nutty or freshly-grated coconut undertone I can't identify. (Nota bene: after 5-6 hours, you will start smelling buttered popcorn underneath the chocolate. I like it, personally) I've layered this with raghba wood intense on my wrists and Noel au Balcon on my throat; try it for autumn winter, it's cozy

I don't find chocolate perfumes often and i found this one randomly, it's amazing, not like choco musk, it doesn't have that alcoholic smell and spicy smell, it's pure chocolate, sweet, gourmand, perfect for winter and fall, i love it

I love it! Even though the bottle is huge in relation to how much product is actually in it, it has such whimsical packaging. I love staring at it, and it completely matches the vibe of the scent too!
