Chocomania

Well, goodbye Chocomania. Just finished my little 30ml bottle from probably around 2014. Happy to say the quality of this fragrance hadn't changed at all over the years. It smells exactly as it did when I bought it 10 years ago, which speaks wonders especially being an Eau de Toilette. This is the most wonderful & unique chocolate fragrance that I have come across. Nothing else I have smells like this. It smells quality. I have a chocolate bar on my shelf that tastes how this smells. It's a hershey chocolate & almond bar, that tastes like a mix between milk & dark. This linear frag smells like a rich well-made milk & dark chocolate that is powdery & slightly nutty like everyone's mentioned. There is absolutely no coconut though. Just yum. Sad to have finished this but at least i still have the body lotion. Really impressive being an EDT because this lasts on the skin for 8 hrs, projecting arms length for 3. Really good & wish it wasn't discontinued. But alas, there are so many frags to discover out there! ❤ thx The Body Shop for a good run wit this one.

This is the first chocolate scent I ever tried and it's actually quite interesting. I first discovered the "Chocomania" body butter (delicious!) and later I found out there was a fragance from the same line. It's a pretty simple chocolate scent that stays quite linear, but it's not an overly sweet praliné chocolate, it's a more like a warm chocolate scent with a touch of sweetness, but not too much. The drydown is a bit sweeter than the opening and it lasts for a pretty long time, although it doesn't project too much. Overall, it's an interesting fragance that I would describe like a warm gourmand, pretty close to an actual chocolate scent and not overly sweet. If you want a truly yummy experience, use it with the body butter (and I LOVE the "Chocomania" shower gel!).

I was surprised by this scent. It's deep dark cocoa, with a hint of musk. Almost masculine and also with a watery tone to it. Smells nice when paired with other fragrances that have more heavy gourmand notes, as long as it isn't added too heavily and you let the other fragrance be the dominate one. The dry down is nice and soft. This is a long wearing fragrance, and I've mixed it with a few of my scents. I have mixed it with Honeymania from the Body Shop and it was very nice, but it might depend on your chemistry too. I find it to be a very sexy scent, without being too in your face.

I didn’t like this so much at first, but the three bottles I bought on clearance seem to’ve improved over time. Originally, whatever base liquid they were using (probably the alcohol) had an overpowering scent and drowned out the chocolate – now the chocolate has come to the surface, and it smells yummy! Pity it’s discontinued and I only bought three – at RM 15 each (about £2.70), I would’ve bought their entire stock if I’d known the scent would turn into this! It does make you smell like a Mars bar, though.

Oh yes, very yummy indeed... again this is not the longest lasting of perfumes out there but small enough to pop into your bag and refresh if needed. Imagine a cold Autumn afternoon, log fire on or heater burning, spritz this on your neck -open a tin of milk chocolate digestive biscuits and share amongst friends...be careful they don't nibble you ;)

I really love Chocomania. My bottle was purchased last year and it's almost empty which says alot because I do have a sizeable perfume collection.To me, it's the perfect balance of chocolate and sweetness and it's just wonderful to wear in cool weather. If you're a chocolate lover it's a must try.

Nice basic chocolate. If you like gourmands this is worth trying. Not overly sweet. Layered with BBW Peppermint body mist, it is amazing in winter. People will want to devour you.

I regret so much it is not for sale anymore! The sheer scent of chocolate used to be my cold season signature one, very pleasant for cold and rainy autumn days.

Love this, very true to chocolate scent, not overly sweet. Lasts very well, too. Of course they go and discontinue it. At least I have two bottles.

This smells really yummy like a milk chocolate bar with a slightly nutty aroma. The scent lasts a lot longer when paired with the body butter.

The Body Shop Chocomania is an interesting dark chocolate soli-note fragrance. It's less milky and less sweet than Comptoir Sud Pacifique Amour de Cacao and Parfumerie Générale Musc Maori. And it's less bitter and less boozy than Serge Lutens Borneo 1834. It kind of fills the void between these two type of chocolate scents, simply adorable and utterly approachable. However, when the chocolate scent gradually fades away, a wax texture is revealed, as if at the end of a chocolate-scented candle it loses its fragrance and smells of candle wax, of which I'm a bit disappointed. The same kind of disappointment when you finished two thirds of a big cup of Starbucks Frappuccino and you sucked off all the flavour, the rest of ice is tasteless compared to the earlier treat. The sillage is soft, and the longevity is around 7 hours on me, which is quite good among The Body Shop soli-note EDT. Personally, I find the wax note in the later stage too disturbing to wear Chocomania alone. But its simplicity and dark chocolate aroma makes it very interesting to layer. For instance, I layered it with Bvlgari BLV Notte pour Femme. The result didn't blow me away, but is indeed an improvement of BLV Notte to my liking. Chocomania boosts the chocolate note in BLV Notte and makes it warmer, while BLV Notte rounds out the wax note. I'd thus recommend it as an occasional chocolate fix or to have some fun experimenting layering with other fragrances.

This is actually not as sugary sweet as I had expected. It's slightly bitter and nutty ... Which I actually prefer, personally (dark chocolate over milk chocolate all the way!). I think it smells very yummy, and I'd say that it's a good comfort scent (not one I'd wear out). I tried the perfume, but opted against getting it. I bought the body scrub and the lotion back when they came out, and I think it was the right decision since I think this works best as a "skin scent" rather than one with crazy sillage. When I had the lotion, I would layer the original Britney Spears Fantasy over it, and it was a FABULOUS combination. Britney Spears Fantasy is another fragrance that I only wore around the house when I owned it (since I viewed it as a "night in, cozy" perfume). This isn't what I would choose to smell like in public, but as a cozy scent for a night in from the cold weather, I thought that this was fun to wear while I had it.

Chocomania smells really nice on me. It goes through a lot of interesting stages while it dries down. I smell many more notes in this than those mentioned. The scent starts off like a very dark raw chocolate with something that reminds me of a sweet floral note. Then it dries down to a very intense, warm, almost earthy stage that still smells heavily of dark chocolate, but also something I interpret to be amber and patchouli. The scent changes again and goes into a very innocent, childlike milk chocolate stage. It smells like Nesquik or O'Boy chocolate milk - very sweet and creamy. After a while it moves into a more varm amber-like stage again, but this time it also has a vanillic note. This chocolate/amber/vanilla-trio stays on my skin quite long, as a smooth and sensual finish. Very pleasant and really yummy. I like it.

This smells like Nesquik to me. I was looking for a pick me up scent(as in make me happy, not for attracting male species) and who would have thought I would find it at an inexpensive price in The Body Shop. It's chocolate powder (not too much powder ala Teint de Neige), not too sweet and not too dark, but just right. This scent is straight to the point- chocolate, has no added complexities to wax lyrically about and delivers on longevity (I'm serious, it's lasted my entire work day no problem and no spray touch ups done, we are going on the 11th hour now). Sillage(perhaps due to fatigue) wavers between soft to moderate throughout the day. At this price point, Chocomania is a steal.

I didn't care much for this serie but it started to grow on me for the shower just before going to bed. I love to smell myself lying under my duvet. Now it is being discontinued and I have bought to storage. The eau de toilette smells nice and complement the other products in the serie but I don't think I'll use it for other than a going to bed scent. I'll see. I have several of series from The Body Shop and I use each at a specific time. I won't use the Chocomania serie for daytime but it's wonderful to relax and going to bed with.

I bought this on line on november, without smelling it before(I have not a Body shop in my town), because I was very courious: I love gourmand fragrances with notes of chocolate, vanilla, sugar,ecc.. This fragrance is very sweet, reminds me of "Aquolina Chocolovers", but has not the same nutty note. It also reminds me to "Cioccolato mon amour", but Chocomania is more sweet, less dark! sorry for my bad English... I'm from Italy! : )

This is neither nutty, milky, overly sweet nor powdery. To my nose, this is a quite musky dark chocolate, with an almost salty, slightly masculine feel to it. I love it and it's so different compared to my other chocolate favourites. It's like nothing I've encountered, except it brings to mind the fruity and sporty Jil Sander Sun Delight, which is in no way a dupe, but contains a chocolate note that reminds me of this.

Sugared dark chocolate. This is so simple and edible. I have the shower gel, lotion, and the perfume spray. It has amazingly strong longevity and sillage even when just used individually. If you want to punch up the longevity of any other fragrance that has chocolate this is a perfect layering scent.

Chocomania smells like creamy chocolate cake. Luckily, it's not as sweet as you might think. It smells like bitter chocolate. This is a great body butter/shower cream scent, but I wouldn't buy this fragrance.

It smells like dark chocolate and has a ancient candel smell which makes it perfect for winter! But I think this is kinda of a male perfume(it reminds me of hot coca!<3)...
