Velvet Chocolate

I had this marked only as a "like" but I just upgraded that rating to a "love". So mad that I sold this! What an affordable gem. I decanted a few MLs before I sold my bottle and forgot about it. I guess that was about 8 months ago. I came across the decant today and wow...IDK if my nose changed or if the perfume benefitted from macerating but I love this!! Pure milk chocolate. Very simple. It smells nothing like Chocolate Queen IMO because that is a perfume-y type of chocolate. Chocolate Greedy leans more vanillic to my nose. Velvet Chocolate smells a bit like the new Lumi Dulce Fundamentum (one of my best buys of 2024). You really can't go wrong with Velvet Chocolate, especially for the price. I think a bit of maceration is exactly what this perfume needed to become this delicious thing that it is today. I sold it because it smelled sour and didn't have the best performance. It has done a total 180 and now I'm going to have to add a full bottle back to my collection. 💯

A true chocolate scent, not much else going on but that's what I wanted just straight chocolate. The closest comparison is chocolate greedy by montale but montale has an edge over this scent but on first sniff very similar I might confuse them if I didn't smell them side by side or wait for the dry down but chocolate greedy has a slight zing and undertone that this velvet chocolate doesn't have which makes it my favorite chocolate. BUT with that being said a normal person realistically doesn't need both, but I'm a huge lover of chocolate so I would still buy both lol. I love this velvet chocolate when I want ONLY chocolate smelling. I definitely recommend it and for the price sheshhhhhhhhhhhhh can't beat that! I can't decide if I find this unisex or slightly feminine leaning... I would love this on a man or woman tho as it's such a yummy hot chocolate milk!

The name Velvet Chocolate really suits this fragrance. At first blast I get this Nesquick like cacao powder. The kind you'd use to make instant hot chocolate. Ten seconds after that I start to get the chocolate itself, a mix between milk and dark, with the tonka bean. In the drydown I get vanilla but it all blends together to give a velvety, chewy texture to the whole thing. Have y'all ever had the triple chocolate cookie from Subway? This smells exactly how that cookie tastes, my mouth is watering writing this. I get about 7 hours of wear on skin and clothes with a little better than moderate projection. I can smell it for about 4 hours strongly before it dies down. All of this for €45?? Mr. Kalotinis, hats off to you. I only wish I'd bought a second because I'm already seeing a dent in this one and I'm scared😂

I love this fragrance. I have been on a search for the perfect chocolate fragrance, and so far I have a few, but most of them excluding Choco Musk, have a citrus note mixed in. Choco Musk is a good powdery milk chocolate, which I love....This on the other hand is just pure delicious, dark chocolate and I am def here for it. It's dark chocolate but not bitter dark chocolate. This has a sweetness to it....it's giving chocolate ganache vibes. Thick, decadent, and super edible. At 1st spray it smells photorealistic, and for the most part stays fairly linear throughout the dry down. The complete dry down it becomes more of a sweet, powdery chocolate...overall though this is my absolute favorite chocolate fragrance yet.

se rapproche de chocolate greedy mais sans le sucre. je préfère le montale car plus gourmand avec le sucre. ici nous avons une pure tablette de chocolat riche en cacao, très réaliste. je le mélangerai avec de la vanille pour avoir plus de sucré. très bien en automne mais pas d'énorme sillage ni de longue durée sur ma peau. mais c'est quand même un like. après quelques temps je trouve qu'il est plus qu'un like, je met un love, car odeur cacao treè réaliste et en fait j'aime tous les kalotinis que j'ai testé, de vraies oeuvres d'art à prix abordables comparativement aux autres parfums de niche. congratulations Kalotinis
