Vanille Chocolat

This is very much a unisex fragrance. I'm a late 20 year old male and enjoy this one a lot! Ordered it blindly from Amazon based on the notes I would've liked to smell on my wife and WOW...I may just keep it for myself! I'm a huge fan of well made gourmands and this is one of them! The first shot reminded me a bit of LIDGE, but didn't really smell like it...but had a similar parfum spirit...it starts filled with a warm honey chocolate sprinkled with patchouli...the patchouli comes out a bit more after a few minutes followed by a dried herbal vanilla....this will carry out for several hours the tobacco is hinted but not extremely prominent - just the perfect mix. It dries down to a smooth chocolaty vanilla tobacco at the base and is just a pleasure all-throughout...I enjoy this one a lot! For the daring gentleman, like myself, who is willing to look passed the Fragantica labeling of "for Women": this is very much unisex - IMHO a tad bit more on the masculine side. Both you AND your lady will enjoy this one! Oh, and BTW, THIS DOES NOT SMELL LIKE ANGEL. It simply shares similar notes. Enjoy!

Total patchouli bomb. Smells almost exactly like Angel before its latest reformulation. Not quite as complex or loud, and not quite as polarizing due to its very slightly softer sillage, but still very close, and more faithful to its origins than the much softer reformulated Angel. Longevity is amazing as well, only starting to fade almost 24 hours on skin. If you don't like the reformulated Angel and want a good dupe with the dark patchouli of before that lasts and doesn't smell cheap, give Vanille Chocolat a try. In Europe, you can get a 100 ml bottle for 20 €.

I bought this scent blind a few years ago. And I wasn't dissapointed. A true gourmand fragrance. At first you smell the sweet honey, then the bitter chocolate and sweet vanilla. There is a slight tobacco note to this which worked really well. Overall this fragrance is great and lasts for hours. After reading this reviews I think I will give the Alien fragrance a try now!!

I just recieved a sample of Vanille Chocolat when I ordered a perfume. I do agree it smells very simular to Angel. I get a lot of chocolate and thankfully not an overpowering amount of patchouli. Which is really nice because I can't take the massive amount of patchouli in the drydown of Angel. I'm thinking I could possibly spring for a bottle of Vanille Chocolat and I'm not really a big gourmand fan. This fragrance is very cozy. Thumbs up!

This surprised me, as I am not a gourmand-lover. And although I do smell vanilla and cocoa fairly clearly in this perfume, somehow the blend adds up to quite a bit more than that. Maybe the materials are so synthetic that the scent is not at all edible. For me, that's a good thing. I don't know if I'd wear it again, but I can see the appeal.
