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!

On a paper test I immediately got chocolate cherries, which is weird because cherries aren't listed as a note. This is VERY chocolate, and I think the bottles are super cute!

Smells like literal chocolate #needthat

With this perfume i came to a conclusion that Middle Eastern perfume houses does not know how to create a chocolate note!!! I've been hunting for a realistic chocolate note for a while now and all of the middle eastern perfumes were a huge disappointment. I tried Choco Overdose, Cookie Crave, Choco Musk, Choco Cult, Just Choco, Qissa Delicious, Nebras, Odyssey Dubai Chocolat etc and none of them smell like real chocolate to me, everything smells like vanilla/caramel/brown sugar mix. So now i came to a conclusion that middle eastern brands have still not cracked a perfect and realistic chocolate note. Choco Overdose to me smells like a normal butter cookie with a lot of caramel and there is a strong musk which is same as the one in "Tiramisu Coco". Its is gourmand for sure but not chocolatey, yes there is a small hint of chocolate but its not even a realistic chocolate note. I really like this perfume as i just love gourmands but i was disappointed cause i wanted to smell chocolate. Its been only a month since i got it though, i will wait for it to macerate!!! Also @OloraGolosina , you have described this perfume accurately, it was a huge disappointment for me cause of all the hype from social media and everyone claimed it smells like chocolate/brownie!!! If anyone is looking for a realistic chocolate perfume the only one i found good is "Velvet Chocolate" by Theodoros Kalotinis, its a real chocolate perfume and for me it smells exactly like chocolate nesquik powder. I'm still on a hunt to find some realistic chocolate note!!! In India its very hard to find indie perfumes and most of the designer/niche/indie perfumes are still not available.

I was dubious these were actually as photorealistic as people were claiming. Coming from someone who loves all gourmands and loves scents like Pink Sugar, this collection is ridiculously photorealistic. I'm not exaggerating, this whole line is so realistically a bakery that it would be considered unwearable by anyone who's not obsessed with sweet scents. First of all, I had issues saying whether this is a male or female fragrance because it's so photo realistic that it's hard to gender. It does smell like a chocolate fudge brownie. There's something like a distinctly dark chocolate smell to it (might also be the rum?) that makes it less overbearingly sweet but it is... intense. I'm not a fan of the bottle design but if you do want to smell like dark chocolate melting in a bakery this is a great option. These are greatly achieved fragrances and they don't have that awful alcohol opening that many cheap perfumes carry. It also projects like crazy even though this specific one doesn't have the best longevity out of the line. If you're looking for straight up realistic, bakery gourmands that have no floral notes at all, look into these.

Choco Overdose arrived in the mail yesterday. This fragrance reminds me very strongly of BBW Chocolate Amber. It is lighter/more sheer than expected. I am mostly getting amber and benzoin, with chocolate in the background. This fragrance does stick around, though--I could still smell the amber notes on fabric twelve hours later. Smells a bit masculine on the sprayer but dries down perfectly unisex. This is a very wearable chocolate fragrance for both genders and very versatile. I expected a more youthful fragrance; this is a gourmand for adults. Will update this over time! Update: Chocolate is continuing to show up more after a few days of maceration. Amber is less prominent after about five days. Getting a balsamic note at times which I assume will go away with further maceration. Will probably leave this alone for now. I’ll check back on this fragrance in 3-4 weeks. Edit: After several months of maceration, this is now 100% chocolate brownie. Let it sit, it takes some time to macerate but it does get there in the end!

When I 1st sprayed this there was something masculine in the initial 1st second. Then it quickly started drying down to a very fudgy/chocolate scent. I can tell that the notes need time to balance out and macerate, but I'm def vibing with this so far. The closest it's giving would be Choc Musk. Like this is a chocolate through and through scent. Most chocolate scents have orange or some fruity note in the background, but this is a solid chocolate scent. I see people comparing it to Chocolate Greedy, but they are not the same. CG has orange and dried fruit notes in it...this is straight chocolate. For me this will do very well in the colder months, giving a sweet, and warm/cozy gourmand vibe. ...And of course I love the bottle, it is so cute. The chocolate has little bits of gold on it like if you were to get chocolate with edible gold foil...the details that went into the packaging are def on point.

It does have a similar musk to Tiramisu Coco like milotic said, and I think they use the same “chocolate” note. But I hated Tiramisu Coco because of the almond, I think. This is better because it doesn’t have that, but it’s not amazing. It’s decent/good. I’ll use it probably, but I would not repurchase. Kinda thinking that I should have gone with Cookie Crave from this line, but I have Cookie Bite (by another brand) and wanted to see what the chocolate in this one was like. Not horrible, but you get what you pay for, I guess. I also don’t love the bottles. They’re sort of cute but almost in a tongue-in-cheek way.

Pure, literal chocolate fudge. It opens dense, thick, and hyper-realistic, smelling exactly like fresh-baked brownies or cake batter. Absolutely no complex floral notes or fruits here, more of a solid, linear block of milk chocolate, caramel, and vanilla that stays sweet for hours. Performance is great for the price, A must-have for hardcore gourmand lovers. If you love this ultra-edible vibe, but arent so fond of the packaging or price, you could also consider getting Chocolate Fudge by Tubbees, it hits that exact same heavy, direct bakery sweet spot for a even cheaper price.

Just got a decant. Smells like sweet milk chocolate. After wearing Montale chocolate greedy for some time, this feels almost too real and edible to wear on its own. I guess it would be good for layering, but probably won't wear it on its own. Update: it IS good for layering, if you want to add more chocolate.

Resembles “Chocolate Fudge” by Tubbees a lot, but I actually think that this one is a lot more bearable for a daily wear. The smell of this perfume is still pretty chocolate-y and it’s almost photorealistic but definitely not to the point where I need to be on the mood to not feel nauseous. Cute perfume

Very photogenic chocolate in my opinion! rich and creamy. I love chocolate notes but this one has to be even a bit too edible for my tastes but very yummy sweet gourmand if that’s what you are looking for! 🍫🍩

The chocolate fudge top note is very accurate. As the top note fades away, it turns into something more buttery, with a hint of cacao. Since im a sweet tooth, I like this fragrance : )

If you like Choco Overdose Lattafa but not its lack of longevity. Then get Delicious Choco Dream Le Bonheur Perfumes, because this one..... last longer and project farther

It has a nice chocolatey smell. Sweet but has a strong pronounced dark cocoa vibe. I strongly disagree with anyone saying this isn't sweet, it's plenty sweet for me.

Smells just like a hot brownie. Absolutely love it!! Now would I wear it? Personally no, I love the smell, but I wouldn't want to smell like a brownie or chocolate.
