Musc Maori 04

A lovely riff on classic powdery (and often floral) musk perfumes, Musc Maori zigs instead of zags--where so many of these perfumes head in the direction of vanilla, or just lightly sweetened lactonic "milk musk," MM goes for a chocolate variant. Some chocolate-scented perfumes are busy and stimulating, especially those that depend on spicy patchouli, but this isn't that kind of a trip--no Gothic depths here, no incense, nothing that would scare the horses. Imagine instead the soothing effects of a pre-bedtime glass of Ovaltine (if you know, you know) or a cup of warm milk with just a little cocoa stirred in. The chocolate accord is plenty well rounded and gives a sense of luxury, but in the relaxed sense of luxe, like high thread-count sheets and quality cushions waiting for a tired head at the end of a long day. At least, that's when I wear Musc Maori--most of the time. This perfume's other natural habitat is in cooler weather, with a cozy sweater and an afternoon with no particular plans--its linear composition and obvious gourmand qualities would rule it out, at least for me, from occasions where I want to project sophistication. Perversely, I also like to wear Musc Maori in summer, as it also reminds me of high-quality cocoa butter, something that I enjoy with parched skin after a session in the pool or a trip to the beach: just don't overdo it in the heat, as the milkiness can become claggy in high doses at warm temperatures. This one took me a little while to learn to love; I was given several samples that I passed on to my gourmand-loving friends and swap partners, until one day I realized that it had snuck up on me, and that I not only needed it in my life, but I also needed enough that I wouldn't have to worry about running out any time in the next decade or two. Comfort perfumes occupy a significant part of my wearing life, and a disproportionately small part of my collection, considering that I reach for one pretty much every night. Since it covers several bases for me, MM is a welcome addition to my collection. Since it isn't even straightforwardly foody, Musc Maori transcends the gourmand genre--at least for me. And I'm off to bed now, gently eased towards sleep in its welcoming arms.

A scent memory that you hadn't had chocolate for years, or you hadn't ever had chocolate but were sure you wanted to try it. Steps into the room with the poise of a well-read chocolatier in silk gloves. This is not your teenage cocoa-drenched body spray; this is a grown-up chocolate who has opinions about Bergman films. The opening? A cocoa butter effervescence, airy and intriguing, like someone carbonated a truffle. Others find blatant orange, I say nonsense. I get almond (and coffee?) blossom whisper, a sort of phantom floral. The coffee blossom or chocolate accords used here have an almost cherry-like quality in the opening, which is *chef’s kiss*. The drydown trades chocolate for cocoa butter, then sighs into vanilla and musk. To me the musk is nearly invisible (but it's the corset undr the ballgown. Subtle, shaping, essential). Projection? Not very far. But the sillage! A phantomm with great taste in scarves. She's gone (I think), but then a man always wants to sniff me. (Is there a science about why lots of men always love the vanilla perfumes? It feels like it should be a cliche if it isn't yet.) Note: This one lives on several Venn diagrams, and I think it bridges several gaps. Suitable for gourmands and those who appreciate the sound of the notes. Or the sound of an elevated Palmer's Cocoa Butter made by a very talented and serious(ly photographed) perfumer. Note: Pierre's photograph above, I saw it. You go look too, it's everything you could want from your French Parfumier's likeness. OMG. Note: I cannot stop looking at him. Note: I'm still here, staring at Pierre. Note: Has anyone written fanfic about Pierre? If so can you DM me?

"Delicately sheer floral chocolate musk" Musc Maori has been a staple in my collection for years when I'm in the mood for something gourmand and sweet. I'm only recently starting to enjoy really sweet fragrances, and when I first bought this many years ago I was put off by the initial chocolatey beginning. Musc Maori really smells like chocolate pudding at the start. But the reason I love this so much is that it isn't as synthetic and foody as other scents like Montale Chocolate Greedy or any of the Comptoir Sud fragrances. Musc Maori reminds me most of Van Cleef's Orchidee Vanille, which means it also has slightly floral and slightly musky facets to the overall sweet chocolate/vanille vibe. I would describe the musk as a vanilla-musk or a sheer clean white musk (there is nothing deeply musky or dark/skanky about this at all -- it's a very sweet, clean fragrance). If you like some sweet scents and occasionally crave a chocolate note but don't generally like it when your fragrance accurately resembles something real, then you should give Musc Maori a whirl. I find this to be a beautifully sweet chocolately scent but I don't think it smells juvenile or overboard. The longevity and sillage are moderate if you spray it a bunch of times (and it sticks to clothing). My two favorite gourmand/chocolate scents at the moment are PG Musc Maori and Profumum Dulcis in Fundo. Both are kind of light and delicate while still very sweet but they aren't cloying or overdone. Musc Maori is a gem! It's delightfully sweet but just right for me.

I tried a sample of this perfume from Lucky Scent and liked it enough to buy a big bottle. My one complaint is it doesn’t last long on my extremely dry skin but I live in the Arizona desert with temperatures soaring over 120 degrees in summer few perfumes last long on me. I still bought this for layering with other gourmand scents since I love bakery and coffee perfumes together. Notes on this perfume say coffee but on my skin I never smell any coffee. This smells like bakery chocolate pastries, specifically a Napoleon, with vanilla strong. No amber or other notes listed for this perfume are noticeable on my skin. This is a skin scent I notice on myself for about 2-3 hours if inside house but outside it will burn off within 2 hours . People have to be close to me to notice I am wearing this perfume but I smell ithis yummy scent and it quenches my sweet craving. I recommend this perfume to gourmand lovers but buy a sample to test hoe it smells on your skin. I notice on reviews others mentioned oranges and plastic scent that never showed up on me. Ironically one reason I buy so many perfume samples is most perfumes - even Creed Aventus for Her - smell like gross plastic dolls on my skin. It is a nightmare searching for a signature scent because few perfumes mix well with my body chemistry. That is why I suggest testing this perfume, it smells great on me but might not on you.

I like how this smells, but it's just wayyyy too sweet on me. It's a very sweet milky chocolate. You know after you eat a bowl of chocolate cereal (coco pops, mmm) and there's that leftover milk at the bottom that stole all of the chocolate flavouring? It reminds me of that, except a little more powdery and with the sweetness amped way up. Sort of like somebody took said leftover cereal milk and dumped a cup of chocolate milkshake powder in it. I love the chocolatey whafts I get when I wearing this, but it just gives me a headache after a while (no matter how sparingly I apply it.) I guess it's just too much for me! If you like chocolate scents and can handle the sweeter stuff better than I can, definitely give this one a go. It lasts around ~12 hours and has average projection IMO. Update 03/06/16: I came across a bottle of this at a low price a little while ago and couldn't say no. I have to say that this fragrance works so, so much better when sprayed!! I was originally sampling this from a small dabber vial and I guess it concentrated the sweetness a little too much for me. When sprayed this smells just like the milk leftover from eating Coco Pops (with no milkshake powder overdose!) Much more yummy and wearable.

Luscious, drizzling, milk chocolate on skin. Seriously, what's not to love? This is the Queen of the chocolate scents imho. A chocolate scent for grown ups. The trail that she leaves is unmistakably edible, unmistakably chocolate, and unmistakably sexy. She's a complete surprise. Usually when I think chocolate I think light hearted fun. Musc Maori changes that whole equation. She's still fun, but she has the promise of something more....private. Like a rich dessert fondue for you and your special love. She may be frivolous, but she's also intimate. I don't get the orange pieces like some others do and I have to agree that she prety much is what she is~ a straight up chocolate perfume. And yet....that's not entirely true either. On me at least and according to my husband~she simmers w/possibilities......and therein lies the key. She smells like WARM chocolate. Not melted in the sun, but by the flame of a fire. Delicious......

Musc Maori smells so good, but it's really misnamed. The main star of this scent is chocolate, not musk! It does have some clean musk and white floral notes, but they are only noticeable to me in the opening and quickly move to the background. They just keep the fragrance from being too much of a boring one-note gourmand. Like many others, I smell a strong orange note with the chocolate in this. It reminds me of melted dark chocolate and candied oranges, and of the delicious orange mocha my favorite café sells. In the drydown, it becomes warmer and warmer, there are even some roasted and some milky notes. It's so delicious, but it's never cloying, there is always a hint of freshness in this. Musc Maori is smooth, soft and creamy, but not weak, I can smell it through my sweater after many hours. Just very nicely blended. One of the best true chocolate perfumes in my opinion.

In 04. Musc Maori, Pierre Guillaume delivers a seamless transition from black to white — from bitter dark chocolate to a creamy milkshake. And he does so with exceptional finesse. The evolution of this fragrance is slow and linear but undeniably noticeable. I have to admit, I’d love to experience more creations like this. This scent is simply beautiful — unwaveringly cocoa-centric from start to finish. It never loses its central theme, which is one of its greatest strengths. Another standout feature is its true unisex appeal. Musc Maori feels equally fitting for men and women, making it a classic unisex fragrance in my view. For this reason, I also encourage the readers of Oud & Musk — both men and women (if any ladies are out there!) — to give it a try. My rsting: After some thought — Highly recommended! (7/7)

Musc Maori opens with the nostalgic scent of chocolate scented erasers (sort of a chocolate plus cherry plus eraser plastic smell). But that's just the first minute or so - soon Musc Maori transforms into the most creamy milk chocolate, cuddly musk and honeysuckle nectar scent. An odd combination of notes but it absolutely works - the result is a fairly simple but utterly cosy gourmand scent. The chocolate smells like a milk chocolate ganache truffle. It's linear through its duration. I absolutely love it. Very sweet but also delicate; somehow despite the creaminess, this is not a heavy scent. The longevity and sillage are lower than some other Pierre Guillame scents, but still average to good. Despite the close sillage, this is a compliment getter. Chocolate lovers should definitely try this one! Love.

Musc Maori really blew me away. However, I do think this is a case of body chemistry-- but on me, it worked very very well. She smells like an original milk chocolate Hershey's bar. I know American chocolate can be controversial for non-Americans, so perhaps it's the nostalgia for me. But this scent profile dancing along with my skin chemistry just WORKS. I found it to be such an intoxicating chocolate musk. This is done very well, the juice is effortlessly smooth. This is absolutely FB worthy for me. I can see myself wearing this a lot come fall/winter. This is my 4th Pierre Guillaume I tested, and I must say I am impressed by this house so far. I find that their fragrances are very unique and inspiring. My only advice is to try before buying :)

The good boy turned bad for the night. Electro with the newest DJ in the city was never your thing, but your friends somehow convinced you to go party with them. You never go, so why not. You hold your rum and coke close to your mouth, maybe the alcohol will make those dodgy beats pass faster. A drink turns into a number you can't remember, your blue-striped shirt is unbuttoned to your navel, your dance moves have gotten considerably better and people have started noticing you. A hand ruffles your hair, you smile your eyes closed, head falling into the hand. Hands on your body, your hands up in the air, feeling the music. Just tonight you think, just for the night.

Once in Indonesia I was shown cacao orchards and was given a cacao pod to taste. It tastes sweet and juicy and it is a bit hard to imagine the powder of roasted beans hiding inside. But the smell of chocolate is unmistakably already there, it just have sour-sweet juicy undertones. so, Musc Maori opens with the most photorealistic cacao pod. I smelled it and exclaimed "oh, cacao pod!" BEFORE even looking at the notes and description. then other notes subtly sneak on you and add some subtle florals, vanilla and tonka bean sweetness... I don't actually perceive musk as such, but it does have smth skin-like and grounded despite all the edible components. It's lovely

Kinder egg and/or cheap foil-wrapped chocolate Christmas tree decorations, but I like it! Update: the above was based on a recent sample. I now have a bottle of the old Parfumerie Générale Musc Maori... It might be my imagination but it's a bit more potent and realistically chocolate smelling and less plasticky. I liked it before but I like this more. That said, it's ridiculously strong, like so so strong that one spray is enough to fill my apartment to choking level.

Smells pretty much like Dutch sinaassnippers, that is orange jelly shaped like orange wedges covered in chocolate. Thus I can't believe there's no orange note listed because to me it's there, clear as day. Delicious. Some hours into wearing, the orange note has dissipated and I am left with... a nice, sweet scent that I can't quite put my finger on. Chocolatey nougat maybe? Toffee? Still, every bit as lovely as the first phase, just different.

I know the English word funk can mean an unpleasant smell but I associate it with music. This fragrance smells funky like the funky music. It always changes the vibe, is very playful, profoundly delicious and can surprise anyone with it's chocolate. One of my top5 of my life, want to grab one more bottle for more of everyday use. Just different! Sweet like a hood mamacita's beam for a guy who grew up in a totally white country, you know :)

I agree with the other reviewers in that this smells like real dark cacao. I imagine a 50's lady wearing a white musc perfume making chocolate chip cookies from scratch. I feel the smell of freshly buttery chocolate cakebatter with nuts, vanilla, and her white musc perfume mixed with that. After a while this smells like those first 5minutes you set the cookies in the oven,just before the cookies start "cooking". Yum!

My other cocoa fav beside Chavaud lait et Chocolate but whilst Chabaud is a photorealistic cocoa milk-drink ( made from coca powder) from the childhood than Musc Maori is a boiled hot chocokate drink with steamed milk and whipped cream on the top. And there are some added spices and some candied citrus peel ( i think the bergamot) The perfect, christmas hot chocolat fragrance!!♡♡♡

This is like rubbing the finest Lindt chocolate on your skin. With vanilla almond filling and a fruity touch. It actually is mouthwatering. Definitely different, a good scent and a very realistic gourmand. I have no idea when to wear it. But hey, no one will object when you smell like Lindt chocolate. Dear to wear it!

This fragrance is very milky, creamy with a potent cocoa note. There's also some coffee, vanilla and tonka in here. It's a delight. I've never smelt such a true chocolate-like perfume before. Very gourmand of course, without being overly sweet or tacky. It has class.

i really don't know why people dislike this fragrance? It's so beautiful. On my skin, it's glowing with cacao adding a little vanille things inside. I'm in love with PG04 in the first time i smell this and buy 100ml immediately.

Milky chocolate deliciousness. Definitely opens with some green notes that dry down quickly into a warm enveloping chocolate comfort scent. On my full bottle to buy list! For my Fall/Winter list definitely.

This fragrance is just delicious. It reminds me of eating coco pops with milk as a kid. That same chocolateness and milkiness. Dig it! Going through my second bottle.

I have never smelled anything like this, it smells like chocolate milk and buttered popcorn. Savory gourmands like this are rare! It's so smooth and lactonic.

I used to have a bottle of this perfume that I bought in Paris at Pierre Guillaume, so this scent is transportative. I like it. 8/10

Hmm,I couldn't smell anything dark in this perfume,just a tasty milk chocolate with condensed milk,very sweet.

To me it's a Terry's Chocolate Orange (UK chocolate) with amber. If you love those things, you'll love this.

Vanilla souffle cake! Delicious gourmand. Perfect for cozy days any time of the year.

this chocolate has some pine needles in it. gorgeous!

I'm torn between loving and disliking Musc Maori. It's a pretty outrageous fragrance and it's been hard to make up my mind about it. What I love about it is that sometimes it can smell exactly like real milk chocolate. That's what I get when I sniff the bottle, and at certain times in its development on the skin, and there are whiffs of it all the way through. Which is wonderful and delicious, even more so because of the other gourmand notes that shine through from time to time, but I do feel very conspicuous wearing it. That's my first gripe with this one: it definitely isn't very wearable. It's pretty strong as well and I couldn't think of a single occasion where it would be fitting to smell conspicuously like milk chocolate out among people. That usually doesn't stop me, though, I have plenty of perfumes I mostly only wear at home when I'm alone and sometimes I don't care what other people will think and wear them out anyway, though lightly applied. But there's something else that I dislike about Musc Maori and that is its other face, the musky, murky one. I guess it makes sense for it to be there to break the pure gourmand vibe and make it a bit more perfume-like, but I don't like the combination. It's like some animal got into my hot chocolate, there's something not right and even a bit queasy about it. Luckily for me, this murky quality doesn't come out too often, but put together with the lack of practicality of such an outrageous scent it does keep me from wearing it very often. I do really like that milk chocolate though, so like I said, I'm torn. Time will have to tell whether I'll be able to live without it once I finish my decant.

Fragrance in three words: Triple Chocolate Orange The fragrance opens with a zesty orange and chocolate. For any confectionery fans what came to mind was Terry's Chocolate Orange. A British milk chocolate bar flavoured with orange oil. The chocolate notes in this are authentic smelling and I can imagine expensive to boot. Usually when chocolate notes are used in fragrance they end up smelling like burnt sugar or have no potency and get lost in the mix. In Musc Maori it is very close to drinking cocoa. The orange fades and the drydown is white musks and slightly powdery amber. Longevity was around 6 hours with moderate sillage. Due to it using bergamot and having a dusky quality I get similarities to Terre d'Hermès (2006). Terre is much earthier, less bright and sexier. Musc Maori is much more fun though. Price in the UK (March 2021) is £138 for 100ml standard pricing for Pierre Guillaume's Parfumerie Generale line. Given the quality ingredients and uniqueness I think it is ok priced. I enjoyed wearing it, A rock solid thumbs up, but not a must have for me. 7.5 out of 10

On the initial spray, I get a bitterness with a hint of juicy citrus, which perhaps comes from the cacao pod. There's also a light powdery facet in the background. It’s not strong, but it’s definitely there. That opening of cacao pod feeling immediately melts into something much smoother. If I were to compare it, it’s like going from a high % citrusy dark chocolate bar to a sweet, creamy milk chocolate drink. Like a 50% chocolate (milk, not dark) and 50% milk blend. There’s no tanginess or that thick, muddy texture you get when making rich hot chocolate from scratch. It feels milky, smooth, and has a lightness type of transparency. The floral notes are there, but quite subtle to my nose. The projection isn’t very strong, but it blends well with my skin. This definitely reminds me of a cozy milk chocolate drink. It's realistic and comforting, but somehow still refined enough to wear as a perfume. Not overly literal or too simple. What a unique piece!

Musc Maori starts off smelling exactly like a bag of Halloween candy. The opening is warm hot chocolate, fresh in a steamy mug. Really gourmand, almost milky in a way. Mid-dry down, you're met with some chocolate filled fruit-tarts; bitter & sweet simultaneously. There's a chocolate-coated citric monstrosity lurking somewhere, with a hint of woods. This is where the composition falls a bit flat and sour, at least with my skin chemistry...like a Starbucks planted right in the middle of a foreign farmer's market, next to a Home Depot. There seems to be a thick, sweet honey note accompanying the chocolate in the dry-down, once the tartness has passed, which I truly do enjoy! We could've been great together, Musc Maori! You're 60% gourmand-comfort perfection, and 40% hot mess. Thus confirming the "hit or miss" factor that keeps me from truly favoring the house of Parfumerie Generale.

I consider myself a lover of the “gourmand” category in the strictest sense. I like smelling like cotton candy, lemons, a cup of hot chocolate or a spice pantry or even a coconut cream pie. (I might draw the line at smelling like beef stew.) Musc Maori is gourmand, but in a weird sort of way. I feel that PG walks the line between genius and madness with his many gourmand-like scents. He has a way of mixing incongruous notes to create something magical, yet often odd. While a prominent note in this one is cacao, the mix with coffee/wood/musk results in a smell identical to milk chocolate and thick, swirling butter melting in a bain-marie. It’s not chocolate, it’s not coffee...it’s...Musc Maori. I love PG’s Aomassi – woody caramel – but the verdict is still out on MM.

I've had my sample for over a year now, and got it out today since I'm antsy for something new. I was a young child during the 70's, and my immediate scent association with this is to a scratch n sniff mug of hot chocolate on a kids Christmas book I used to have. If anyone is familiar with these, it also had peppermint and pine smells in it. I was really looking forward to this because I love a good chocolate scent, Cocoon is my favorite, but this one is not really wearable for me. Even as it evolves a little, too much of the unnatural chocolate scent remains. I really like some of his scents...I own Cadjmere and a decant of Coze. I'm gonna pass on reliving the scratch n sniff book though.

Agree with others that this perfume is not named correctly: I don't pick up a musk note. Instead this is a dessert gourmand, with chocolate, vanilla and tonka forward. After the very strong opening, this stays linear. For some reason I'm getting an old school hostess cupcake vibe from my childhood.... except I'm eating it while drinking a cappuccino. I don't think this works in summer heat as it's just too strong, so I'll test it again in cooler temps. I'm liking it but not sure it's going to be a purchase. My sample is from Lucky Scent. EDIT this works so much better in the Fall and cooler months. My BFF is wearing this as I write and it’s wonderful.

On my skin Musc Maori opens with an edible strong and creamy dark chocolate smell. First it smells like dark bitter chocolate sweets with coffee liquer inside, then it turns into the coffee liquer with a little drop of dark chocolate and chilli pepper in it. I really enjoy this play of coffee-chocolate notes. The fragrance is not too sweet, it is rather a bit bitter. The staying power on my skin is ok, could be a little better(I wish it was as good as on rebella), but in general I really like this fragrance and want to have it in my collection:)

This smells very realistic, it smells like creamy, buttery milk chocolate with vanilla. I cannot detect the coffee note at all. The musk is barely noticeable as well. It starts out creamy and becomes a bit powdery with time and aside from that does not change much. This slightly feminine, simple composition is perfect for cooler temperatures. Sillage and longevity are moderate. Try this if you're into gourmands or if you are starting to explore that type of perfume.

Im so whit you Solvita . this is a milky chocolate , not in the means that it is light chocolate , it is more off the dry dark type . but there is an almost milky powdr feal to it. sweet yes , but not in a cloying way . A very well blended perfume , Hard to describe . not like anythinge i have smelled before . unik in so many ways. Not shure i could pull off a whole bottle off this . but nice and dry, powdery and sweet. almost cooki like , buttery in away

This starts out exactly like cocoa powder you put in milk. Not cacao. Not blended with milk, just the powder. More specifically, O'boy which we call it in Sweden. You can really feel the dry and powdery texture. However it gets muskier rather soon, and that's what the drydown is like. This is closest to Serendipitous, I find, except this one changes more noticeably and quite fast. Oui Plus and Gourmand Coquin still are my favourite chocolate perfumes.

Such an underrated Chocolate fragrance, i guess a lot of people dont like the longevity on these fragrances. Which is always a negative thing when on this price tag you compete with Montale and Mancera. But im gonna say this, if you like or love Strawberry Milka Chocolate's like i do. This fragrance is exactly that on a bottle, if this lasted 5 to 6 hours i would rate it a 9 or even more. But sadly on me it lasts less then an hour. 8/10

Hot chocolate, hot chocolate, boiling milk chocolate on the stove, scenting the whole house. And that is all there is, so eventually one gets bored with the scent of melting milk chocolate as it becomes sickly and makes one feel quite queasy. The end is death by drowning in the cauldron of boiling milk chocolate.

Smells like malted milk balls + fruit loops to me: a soft powdery sweet milk chocolate and bergamot?? Odd. 2nd time: same sugary milk chocolate + bergamot aroma overlapping, intriguingly playful and weird. Then I started getting a milky orange, like a creamsicle? So strange, fun though!

This smells like homemade hot chocolate (made from shaving cacao root into a boiling pot and draining the contents) with too much water added in. I find this to be dry rather than sweet. It's pleasant and unusual, but needs more oomph. It's so close be being perfect.

very gourmandish) sweet chocolate pralines. not hot chocolate to my nose but the smell of chocolate candies with some sweet filling. very nice but you should really love to smell sweet)

I wouldn't know what to think about it, but then i look at the name and makes sense!:) love it, true maori spirit in a bottle.

Smells like sour chocolate. Like if you put cacao in hot water. Not too overwhelming, not cloying. Very fresh chocolate.

Watch out! this is really 1/1 Al Rehab Choco musk; I point it above but it is REMOVED and i can not point it again. This perfume is an Arabic Choco Musk, with a nice chocolate opening wich fades away in 5 minutes and all you get back is an oily cloying dry down.. It should have been more interesting with some coffee, hazelnut, walnut, popcorn and tolu balm, something greenfresh or interesting sweet.. wait..the coffee is listing..also tonkabeans? NO WAY! For a nice chocolate opening buy for 3 euro Choco musk from Al Rehab or far better' Demeter chocolate chip It disappoints me even more because a first liked all the other Pierre Guilliome Paris perfumes but now i doubt about their quality too...( i even doubt honest reviews on Fragrantica right now!) Maybe it is just that what was mentioned before; you love or you hate this perfume..but also when you love it...try Al Rehab Choco Musk (maybe than you will hate it than; spent 120 euro for something that can be bought much more cheaper)

This is okay, but not the best thing I've ever smelled. It reminds me of those little orange filled chocolate candies you get for Valentine's Day in the heart shaped variety packs. It's way more orange peel or something, though, than chocolate. Come to think of it, I don't really get much of any chocolate, just a little sweetness of some kind. Somewhere between gourmand and skin scent. It also has really poor longevity and projection - it was gone on me within the hour after I sprayed it. 4/10

On me this smells like a lighter version of Chocolate Greedy. Every now and again while wearing this one I would get whiffs of musk and florals (which I don't get with CG). This sits very close to the skin on me, and performance is not the greatest. I have to dig my nose into my skin to smell it. This is pleasant enough, but rather unremarkable; there are other chocolate fragrances out there that I prefer.

Every year for Christmas my dad gives me one of those milk chocolate oranges wrapped in foil. This reminds me of that. Unfortunately I've never really liked them! The chocolate is too synthetic and hollow tasting. Same goes for this perfume. However - I think this would be really sensual on a man.
