Shivoo

I'm obsessed with this perfume! The realistic dark chocolate and raspberry notes are so sexy. Mouth watering but not sickly gourmand. Just yummy!

Shivoo starts off very tart. A tart raspberry that is a little bit green, not ready to eat yet. Or like a jam was made and the maker forgot to put in sugar. As the perfume develops I get a soft white rose accord. It reminds me a bit of what I am wearing today Atkinson white rose. White rose is fruity smelling compared to other roses. There is an aquatic smell here, like rain on berries and roses. The chocolate here is lightly applied. A chocolate dusting on a raspberry and chocolate cake. As it develops further I get a ganache made of chocolate, raspberries, aquatic litchi and stewed, pears, that is being prepared for a dressing for meat. Smelling this perfume I am immediately reminded of the scene in the movie chocolat staring Johnny Depp and Juliette binoche. She made a chocolate sauce that was used as a sauce to flavor the chicken at a dinner party. Smells delicious but not excessively sweet.. A less sweet take on the gourmand genre. I am a big fan of this house. I will probably wear this all day tomorrow and decide if I want a bottle. My husband likes this quite a lot as well. Edit the more I smell this it smells like there is tea in here as well. In the beginning of the fragrance. My husband loves this one. It is a bright and tart rose with aquatic fruits and chocolate. It isn't like most gourmands on the market now. That is probably why I like it. It isn't drowning in sugar. Think rose bushes next to raspberry bushes while eating a very dark chocolate bar.

Really delicious! Smells like a photorealistic dark chocolate ganache with a raspberry sauce drizzle. The rose comes in quickly after spritzing, but then fades just as fast, which I’m grateful for, because it’s not my favorite type of rose; it’s a lemony, powdery rose. Amber is definitely a base note because it becomes more and more noticeable with time, while the raspberry fades a bit and the chocolate stays consistent. Edit 9/8/25: I'm actually really not liking the rose b/c it's VERY soapy, it does disappear with the full dry down tho.

For me this becomes a high quality rose scent with some slight chocolate. I got a tiny tester to see if the rasberry notes would come through and so far nothing presents to me in much berry flavor. Its so expensive I can't see getting a bigger bottle unless the scent suddenly develops into a juicy raspberry which i was hoping for. I don't wear much rose. If you love rose this is a beautiful rendition of the scent though. The ingredients look amazing also and have rose essential oil.
