Chocolate Makes Me Happy

This perfume is truly a nostalgic trip for me. The most gorgeous and multifaceted chocolate fragrance I've ever smelled so far knocking out Nasomatto Pardon in the very first round, busting Mr. Borjnokopff's Purple Hat and his orbital in the semi-finals, and causing Valentino Uomo to disqualify itself due to weak constitutions. JUST WOW! I say this in unapologetic honesty... It is almost 100% similar to the discontinued drugstore deodorant *AXE White Label Night Dry-spray* in the opening (one I used for many years when I was young before switching to designer fragrances) probably because of the lavender and chocolate blend - you can also tell by the notes listed on Fragrantica how they might smell similar. Don't judge... To me it was the best thing I had ever smelt at the time alright! However Chocolate Makes Me Happy hikes it up to niche territory made with much richer and natural smelling ingredients that go in a smooth, woodier and earthier direction. A dark, earthy, almost incense-y, non-compromising chocolate. Never sweet or childish. The scent develops into a sophisticated, nutty, fatty and woody aroma indicative of chocolate pralines or marzipan. The cocoa in this is so hyperrealistic that it smells like grounded cocoa powder with that soily ebony-black earthiness from the vetiver and light, spicy, twinkle given by the ginger and lavender. As if you were running your nose up and down a cold dark bar of Artisanal Dark Chocolate that has some slight frost on it from the fridge and then took a small nibble off the corner. I visited a chocolate factory in Indonesia and this scent definitely takes me back. The scent is therapeutic and will keep you cozy. I believe it can even help you sleep, it helped me. The grapefruit and lavender later make the overall profile less gourmand or dense and more fresh, rich, and unisex. CMMH is special to me not only for reminding me of when I was younger and life was faster and much more candid but because it is also a long-lasting, powerhouse scent profile that can be worn anywhere at anytime. It continues to surprises me with so many different stages of development. A rightfully earned 9.5/10

Chocolate Makes Me Happy works some kind of magic on my skin. Perhaps because I eat so much chocolate I have the right circumstance and propensity for this to work. I tried using this perfume as my signature for five days straight, Monday to Friday in school as I'm a comprehensive school teacher, and wow it was such a compliment getter. In those five days I got seven compliments, from my pupils and colleagues alike. Everybody loved it. In the opening I mostly get dark, bitter chocolate with a sour but fresh, stingy lift from the ginger and grapefruit. It's balanced in a beautiful and intriguing way not to make it contradictory, but complimentary. After around half an hour the chocolate slowly "melts in" and dissipates to become a subtle undertone, giving the lavender more space to come forth, so the scent becomes more floral. But it's not a sharp, soapy straight-up lavender scent; it's softened up and made more cloudy probably by the amber and benzoin. It's really beautifully blended. I hardly feel any cinnamon, though. The scent doesn't feel very spicy first-hanf. It has a warm spicy undercurrent at most. This is not a regular creamy, vanilla chocolate type of gourmand. It's more that exclusive, rich dark chocolate praline that oozes with a tangy, floral jelly-like lavender ginger filling when you bite into it and it cracks open! It's an exquisite, expensive praline that you just have a maximum of two of, and then you're satisfied. You feel expensive when wearing Chocolate Makes Me Happy, definitely! The golden plate on the front of the bottle and the heavy golden cap with a Swarovski diamond in it is fabulous. I would say this fragrance is at the peak of its pride and is done most justice in the autumn or winter. Not a hot weather fragrance, as it may risk turning cloying then.

The opening of this fragrance is the most "edible smelling" fragrance I have ever encountered. This genuinely smells like chocolate, it's very disturbing. With other scents that try to give you a food smell, I could always feel like I'm smelling a fragrance. When I smell the opening of this one, I can't. It actually smells like food. It smells like a deep chocolate with some citrus in the background and a vanilla feel. It's really impressive what they managed to do. After a few minutes, I can finally say I'm smelling a fragrance and not food. This is so cool because this phase will pretty much only be for you, the wearer, so if you're in the mood for chocolate this will give you such a huge mood boost. Then it evolves into a fragrance that others can enjoy without feeling like you've just bathed in chocolate. It developps into a chocolate ambery fragrance that smells really smooth and super high quality. The fragrance is a very deep amber with gourmand facets. While I do get the "aftershave smell" thing, I guess it's a matter of how it developps on your skin. On my skin this aspect is in the background, what dominates really is the ambery gourmand aspect. I do understand how disapointing it must be if this aspect just dominates the rest as it is indeed very crisp and just smells like an average skincare product. Performance is really great. Definitely do not blind buy this one.

For me this is one of the ultimate cozy perfume Occasion: If it was me, i want to wear it in a cold night, when you need to feel relaxed, surrounded by friend and family, definitely a mass pleaser too so you shouldn't get any negative comments or nobody will think of stay away from you Won't wear it if i want to make a statement though, because if this perfume is a human, he is definitely that friendly guy, who everyone will love but lack that 'alpha' aura Longevity & performance: on my skin the chocolate scent will be toned down after 30 minutes or so, then the orange, lavender and caramel will getting stronger and make it more complex and give you a unique and pleasent smell Performance is quite good, around arm length on my skin for around 2-3 hours, and it will stay for around 8 hours although it's gonna be skin scent afrer around 5 hours Conclusion: If you want a really intense and long lasting 'chocolate' perfume i guess there's a better option, because after around 30 minutes another scent will comes up and makes the chocolate sunk a little bit, though of course you can still smell it. but this is really beautiful, for me 1 of the best chocolate scent, and like it's name, will make you happy, definitely worth to try !

CMMH is mature smell throughout. It alternate female/ male smell many times. This lavender bomb, lavender all the way thru. Open with citrus, I smell how the citrus is juicy and sweet almost like liquid citrus juice factory but then bitter chocolate poured ontop then overdose of cacao powder mix with very dry lavender. Lavender makes cacao powder thick talcum like thick (not talcum smell) ontop the citrus juiciness. Citrus sweetness is tamed by dry chocolate powder. But then CMMH alternate between juiciness and tamed juiciness. Toward dry down green juiciness take over which go from sweet to woody cream plus cacao powder (cacao thick like talcum, it aint going nowhere). This is very green. Vetiver shine hard in dry down. The balsams give perfume hint of flora-animalic. Maybe im on a cacao farm minus dirt /soil. Fragrance does smell earthy.

The name is slightly misleading because this is a lot more than a chocolate scent, as you can probably tell by the many notes. To me this is more of an aromatic kind of gourmand as opposed to a gourmand you can imagine being a food. The chocolate (dry like cacao powder) is unmissable when you first spray it and it doesn't disappear until much later. Even though the scent is intense, the lavender I assume is what gives it a calming effect at the same time. The citrus notes also keep it from being too dark or heavy. CMMH lasts all day, like most of Unique'e Luxury extraits. I think anyone can wear this, although it seems to be more popular with men. [Edit] Slightly reworded some stuff

CACAO MAKES ME HAPPY What a wonderful gourmand! I do not detect much chocolate, but there's a constant presence of powdery cacao, and yes, also lavender, but for me the cacao is the dominant note. I love this, it's a somewhat more complex version of Cacao Dreams from AF. I love both, but Chocolate Makes Me Happy has more depth. Complex, Cacao, Long-lasting, Gourmand, Intimate, Soft. .................................................................................................. CORRECTION The "Cacao Pod" in the base should've been "Coffee".

My favorite offering from the brand. Opens with orange chocolate, and you get some small freshness in the background. Dries down to an ambery-cacao scent. If you like Forbidden by ATH and Naxos I recommend giving this a try. Its smooth chocolate without being synthetic like Montale or too edible-gourmand like Dolce Passione. Oh and longevity and projection are excellent. 10/10 would buy again when it runs out Edit: reminds me of a niche version of Invictus Victory Elixir or CH Bad Boy edt. Still a 10/10

This is amazing 11/10 scent great longevity with LOUD sillage... I’m horrible describing scents and telling you what notes I pick up even after trying hundreds so I’ll explain it in a non fragrance fragcom terminology This smells like a chocolate cookie (not chocolate chip) with cocoa powder on top and you’re drinking a green tea 🍵 with a dash 🤏🏾 of citruses One thing about this house is the quality. Even though I hate scents like akediz, Kutay & mangonifiscent, the quality is just always there 🤌🏾🤌🏾

when chocolate perfumes comes to intens crazy scent... so yummy.... nice longevity 6 hours is enough for me since this scent is interesting... for those who never know.. how does this smell just go to store then sniff axe chocolate.. yeah this is similar but don't get me wrong in this perfume u don't get synthetic like axe.. this just more natural chocolate bar and so deep.. of course so yummy.. people around you gonna lick you lol

Super delicious, very soon the smell of chocolate turns into lavender, which is perfect in my opinion. At the end, the smell of chocolate, cocoa and caramel gives the perfume a bitter and sweet note, which is combined with musk, amber, vetiver and wood to make a sexy perfume. Excellent play and durability

This one smells really good. It’s funny because it’s not overpowering but you definitely have a nice chocolate cloud around you. To me it’s a subtle beast bc you can’t really smell it on yourself and then bam it hits you like damn I smell good. Definitely like this juice. Full bottle worthy for sure

Tons of chocolate upon opening... The chocolate remains for 5 hours after application, but it is not alone. Anyone who only feels chocolate in the opening has a defect in their airways. Holding for more than 12 hours, very elegant and fine lavender accompanies all developments

Less harsh winter, more cool spring day. Opens to me with heavy lavender and an undercurrent of powdery chocolate. I enjoy wearing this to the office for something different. No one else will be wearing it, lol.

Opens Tootsie-Roll, then fades to soft, warm chocolaty sweetness. Dries to lightly sweet, sandalwood comfort on my skin. Absolutely beautiful, and it does make me happy!

I understand the haters. This stuff is awesome but weird. I got a sample from Scent split and this stuff is exactly as the person underneath described. This starts off as a tootsie roll straight up but the most pleasant way possible and then evolves into the scent profile really really nicely. I will buy a larger decant maybe. But man this is actually straight up awesome stuff. The soapy drydown is real and eventually the chocolate fades but this stuff smells really good. Edit: this is not a gourmand really. I see why ppl hate to n it. It turns into a soapy sweet fragrance that doesn't resemble chocolate after a while.... So if you're looking a gourmand that's stays that way...pass on this. This is an acquired taste by what it turns into. Get a sample or decant first.

1- This is not a chocolate perfume, Chocolate is just an aspect of this perfume and it is very clear for the first hour which i love then it changes so much to the point that i do not smell chocolate any more. 2- I own Xerjoff symphonium and love it. Chocolate make me happy Does not smell like Symphomium. 3- If you love and want a chocolate perfume, Do not buy chocolate makes me happy based on the first hour, It is a mistake. 4- Performance of this perfume is modorate at best. projection is great for the first hour and just dies off to a skin scent and it does not last more 5 hours on me. 5- I agree with @Kaylovely review below that Cocoa Pink black chocolate is actually one of the best pure chocolate perfumes but it is not for everyone. 26-OCT-2022

Strong opening blast of dense, fudgy chocolate quickly settles into a cocoa-flavored lavender with warm cinnamon and amber, along with light touches of orange and vanilla. It's like if you took lavender stalks and dusted them with cocoa powder and cinnamon, with the faint hint of Creamsicle lurking beneath. More of an aromatic fragrance with gourmand facets than going fully edible, it's a solid choice if you want a chocolate scent that doesn't smell like literal food. Moderate projection for only 2-3hr but 16hr+ longevity. I catch faint whiffs of it through most of its life, but the cocoa accord slowly fades through the deep drydown and completely dies in the 8-10hr range as it becomes a skin scent.

Wow what a journey! This isn’t for beginners ;). I think this takes an experienced nose to enjoy. If you’re just adapted to designer fragrances then this may be a bit offensive. The chocolate is a dark strong chocolate orange opening and it definitely does have a perfume aspect ( the lavender) so not straight up gourmand... and not milk chocolate at all.. no laconic aspect to this, so some may say it’s sharp and not smooth.... It definitely gets to be smoother as it ages on the skin ( unfolds). I am enjoying my 10ml decant and will probably get a full bottle. It’s potent which is a big bonus since I go anosmic pretty quickly to smells if they’re not strong.
