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.

Delicious chocolate opening with some lavendel sprinkeled in it ik morphs and changes while you wear it and the cacao with the spices come out more while you go to the drydown the power is good and the smell is very good! definitly a nice addition in a collection.

First time I tried it I didn't like it, then I gave it another chance, it opens as orange chocolate and the lasting scent is a beautiful photo-realistic sweet cacao powder. its a unique and interesting scent.

The lavender's slightly overwhelming tbh, but still a good chocolate scent

While not familiar with the notes, I knew this set had a chocolate fragrance of some kind, so it was just a matter of hitting it. More than halfway through my blind testing, it was clear and obvious at first whiff this was it, opening like a rich gateau cake with thick fudge icing, it calmed down, morphing more into a chocolate fondant as it's other notes came in. What those other notes are is somewhat difficult to decipher, masked by the chocolate and cacao, but it does eventually get more mature and earthy, distancing itself from cloying gourmandy child's play. Late in the day I would say it even had a slightly more chocolate-tobacco lean to it. Looking at the notes now, they suggest a more layered experience, and I'm getting a more unison front that changes over time. While one can sense how most of the notes add to the uniform body, but grapefruit and vetiver feel the most distant, if not all together non-existent. While Chocolate Makes me Happy as well, and I appreciate the more fully rich chocolate notes here (as opposed to the very earthy cacao notes of Arko Dark, or fumbling overtly sweet notes of cheapy gourmand fragrances), this fragrance as a whole leaves me craving a more aromatic and atmospheric and animalatic and musky version. Something I'm finding might just be in my head. But when it comes to longevity and silliage, great performance here, so if you down right want to smell like a mature rich chocolate, this might be your pudding.

اسم عطر کاملا گمراه کننده است نه؛اونقدرا خبری از شکلات یا کاکائو نیست در حقیقت این یک عطر لوندری_شیرین هست که با اغماض میشه گفت رَگه های بسیار ضعیف کاکائویی داره و نه شکلاتی شروع عطر با کمی بوی پودر کاکائو هست که از همون ابتدا لوندر رو به خوبی میشه حس کرد که وجه مُرکباتی شروع عطر رو دوست داشتم اما بعد از چند دقیقه فروکش می‌کنه این روند با افزایش میزان لوندر و همین‌طور بوی شیرین وانیلی همراه هست که حس تمیزی لوندر رو هم میشه ازش دریافت کرد خیلی صَمغی نیست و ادویه ها هم بعد از لوندر و صندل و شیرینی های عطر جای دارند عطر بد ای نیست اما سلیقه من هم نیست ************* scent:6.5/10 longevity:7.5/10 sillage:7.5/10 purchase value:2/10 ****** overall:5.8/10

The powder behind this scent is really pleasant! In general I didn't know what to expect of this fragrance since it's chocolate-based... I thought I didn't enjoy chocolate scents since I wasn't able to get into Black Phantom by Kilian... But this is surprisingly well-blended. The star in this is the cocoa pod, giving this powdery and hazelnut-like scent to it. Performance and longevity great as always with this house. 7/10

This scent should've been labeled ''Lavender makes you happy'' Because unfortunately this scent made me *very unhappy*. I was really *really* hoping the lavender would not come through (I mean, why juxtapose herbal/aromatic with such a decadent gourmand? It will be polarising). And,,, it did come through. A lot. Like the *main note*.. Sorry but for me, it's misleading and while of some pretty decent Quality, finding lavender by use of a new and upcoming Niche brand and attacking the chocolate gourmand genre with lavender is,, it's really not smart, let me not beat round the bush here. Very sad given the scent's actual blending is of a good grade, for me a massive wasted opportunity. My rating: 4/10 Scent Quality: 8/10

I think it's one of the worst chocolate perfumes I've ever smelled.. i actually really like the brand but this chocolate doesn't make me happy. Especially the lavender in it is so tiring. It smells like chocolate at first, but then it smells like a lavender cleanser. It actually smells like synthetic air fresheners that smell in cars. Its performance is deadly. But It's exhausting to carry this on ourselves.

At first spray i was like“ wow!!! deep chocolate and cocoa powder , love it“ A few minutes later i just cannot believe it all that remains is men‘s aftershave and hairgel smell. Definately masculine and generic to me. It would suit a put together man but not a woman.

Chocolate makes me unhappy Chocolate makes me sad Chocolate makes me dissatisfied and chocolate makes me bored to death The start is spectacular but the finish is aftershave :(

I get ZERO cacao/chocolate. This smells like a sweet floral on me, not at all edible, more like expensive soap. It wouldn't be bad except I was expecting chocolate!

Nothing near edible chocolate, unless you prefer yours with a side of soap bubbles.

I’m actually not that much of a fan of this fragrance. It has a strong soap smell with chocolate and cocoa as an undertone. Imagine a chocolate scented soap bar, that has also been scented with a very strong lavender smell. The lavender just really throws the entire scent off for me. Edit: good god. After 5 hours of wearing this fragrance you get the strongest soap scent I’ve ever smelled. I can’t tell what the note is. There isn’t anymore chocolate or sweetness, it’s just straight up lavender soap! Yuck. Edit 2: 8 hours later and I can’t bear it anymore. This is disgusting. I know some may love this scent, but I was hoping for a TRUE chocolate gourmand. This is not that. I recall The Perfume Guy talking so highly of this and I’m starting to not trust his nose, because this just isn’t at all chocolate beyond 1 hour. Perhaps it’s the lavender in this that I’m hating so much? I really don’t know. It just smells like straight up expensive soap.

I just brought a sample for this perfume cause the name and the notes sounds soo yummy and delicious. But this is one of the worst perfume i have ever smelled. It smells nothing like chocolate and its not at all gourmand. This is the pure headache inducing perfume that smells like chemicals. The only good thing i can say about this perfume is its longitivity and siliage. I dont smell most of the gourmand notes specified, all i smell is Ambroxan, Lavender and bergamot that too very synthtic. This is pure trash for the price, i wouldn't even get it if its given for free. It smells like the cheap deodrants that you get at any local store but with increased concentration.

I bought a decant thinking it would be close in its scent profile to other chocolate dominant perfumes such as chocolate greedy or chocomusk, but goodness! What a disgusting and disappointing fragrance! The chocolate note here is one which is exactly how bitter chocolate smells. I’m all for photorealistic scents, but please. This smells so bad. There a chemical and synthetic quality that is also a huge no-no for me. This isn’t chocolate makes me happy, it’s chocolate makes me disgusted.

Ive seen people love this fragrance, for me personally this genuinely smells like shit. NOT blindbuy safe at all.

It opens up with the most realistic cacao note I have ever smelt, it's much like grounding it up to powder and getting that intense whiff of it in the air. I can't stress enough how AMAZING the cacao, lavender, and orange combo is, the opening is to die for. Now, were I completely fell in love for this perfume was in the dry down, you get an amazing floral, cacao/chocolate, incense, and the most beautiful and rich vetiver I have smelt by far. The vetiver makes the dry down go a bit smokey woody but it just makes the other notes pop out and trust me this smells luxurious. If you're a gourmand lover you will love this, I don't see the resemblance with the AXE body spray but I guess when you don't know much about perfume and the craft of making them you just go with what seems familiar by memory. This is blind buy safe if you love chocolate, vetiver, and a smokey sweet dry downs. It is definitely unique and i have I to admit there is some sort of nostalgia crap going on whenever I smell the dry down; I love it but I wish I knew what this reminds me of (no it's not axe) I think someone here also said this perfume takes them back as well; regardless this is an amazing perfume! Performance was amazing, I hate to compare but this brand is just as good if not better then Xerjoff. On skin I got easily 10+ hours and projection for the first 3-4 hours was around 3-4 feet, my room still reeks of the perfume I sprayed from last night.

Im a female and when I saw the word “chocolate” on the name I immediately wanted to try it. So when I spritzed it the first time I was like “ wow, that’s masculine...” I enjoy some unisex masculine leaning frags but this was too masculine, however, something in it smells so lovely. I think it’s the sweetness from cocoa and caramel, and I smell almonds too though it’s not listed on the notes breakdown. Still, found a bit too manly . Fast forward 1 month, pulled it out of my sample stash and decided to try again... hmmmm, this smells creamier somehow, I can smell the lavender too, is it possible that it changed or is it my nose that’s picking up more notes the second time around? I dunno but I put it away because as much as I like it I still think it’s not for me. Fast forward another 2 weeks and oh my!!! A small spritz on my wrist and I’m loving it! I have always liked it but thought it may lean a bit too masculine but after trying it a few times... I think this is gorgeous and I can totally pull it off! There’s a freshness to, characteristic to colognes and after-shave but mixed with the cacao, caramel and benzoin (which smells vanillic), it works so well! It’s fresh but with a lightly sweetness that makes it more well rounded and helps the fragrance last a while! Reminds me a bit of The Most Wanted (black bottle).

I don't want to come off as a hater, but if you're a man and you smell this - tell me you haven't smelled this exact scent before. Instantly the only thing I get is designer in the air. Like I've smelled this before everywhere. It has a certain aromatic tone to it, chocolate is clearly there, but at the same time, this isn't at all what I was expecting or wanted. I get comparisons to Bad Boy which is not what you want for a $240 niche fragrance. I avoid designer perfumes, but Bad Boy is one that some of my friends wear and it has that certain juvenile/prettyboy nature to it. This has that exact same thing. It's that synthetic musk-floral type note. I also agree with the people who say this smells like Xerjoff's Symphonium. I posted a review on that a couple months ago IIRC and when I smelled that, that also dried down somewhat like a designer. There's a certain barrier in my mind as it comes to chocolate fragrances - they all feel very-very familiar. I went to the page of "Boss Private Accord" and that has comparisons to "Axe Dark Temptation" (the men's shower gel) and now I literally can't get that comparison out of my head. For the love of god, try before you buy. I'm exploring their discovery set 1-at-a-time.

This fragrance is very heavy on cacao and chocolate notes. It starts with pungent chocolaty cacao notes. The chocolate start is so strong that you can't smell any other notes in the first few minutes. Then after a few minutes, you can gradually smell other notes, the lavender, and citrus notes as well as the middle resinous and warm spicy one. These heavy top and middle notes are sitting on amber and creamy sandalwood. Other things: To me, the combination of chocolate and lavender in this fragrance is very weird, and they mix very oddly. You have a heavy gourmand fragrance as well as some soapy vibe from Lavender, which is not a pleasant combination. This fragrance is so heavy on the chocolate and cacao notes that it is more like a food flavor than a fragrance. I don't consider a fragrance like this as a true fragrance with the art and skills of perfumery. It's more created to atract people with the gourmand smell of chocolate and cacao. But its becoming better and better in the drydown. Projecton and longevity are decent. 6/10

A good perfume but to my nose the most dominating note here is lavender, So, as a lavender perfume it is a great one. As a chocolate perfume, you may be disappointed. I don’t detect much chocolate as I detect it in other perfumes like Montale’s aChicolate greedy, Mancera Choco Violette, or Profumum’s Sorriso. I do detect cinnamon and a vague cocoa powder note. That combination may give you a light sensation of chocolate. Try it. Pour cinnamon and cocoa together and you get chocolate. I think that is how the notes of cinnamon. And cocoa are being used here. But there is not distinct dark chocolate Note as listed in the list of notes. The lavender is king here. It is not just the most notable note but it is the first one to smell and the last one to smell when the perfume is gone. And I. That note, this perfume is a beast. It is potent and long lasting. If you are looking for a good smelling g barbershop/lavender perfume, this is it. If you are looking for chocolate, you may want to sample this one first. Do not blind buy it.

Have you ever smelled a fragrance having exactly in mind what it reminds you of? A journey back in time? Chocolate makes me happy gave me the image (in fact, it almost feels like eating it) of those candied oranges covered in dark chocolate that I loved so much as a child. It's realistic, not cloying and very tasty. As this scent evolves, it softens and becomes clean and soft, without ever taking away the mouth watering that came from breathing it deeply. A beautiful memory. Excellent sillage and persistence. “Still life with blue tablecloth (and chocolate pot)” painted by Matisse

After trying this out, I get why people either love or hate it. It’s not something you smell every day for sure. The transition from the opening to the dry-down is significantly different where those fresh notes and the burst of lavender can throw people off. Still, it’s kind of unique, unpredictable in a good (and weird) way to be honest. If you’re expecting a rich, balsamic, vanilla-chocolate vibe, you might end up disappointed. I don't mind experimental approaches but that mix of lavender fougère and gourmand is not something I saw coming either😊 Interesting stuff!

Wow, what a unique fragrance! I starting on me as if you spray a perfume on a dark chocolate bar and now you're sniffing it. So it's chocolaty-perfumy fragrance. In 20-30 minutes chocolate is gone and I'm left with lavender, vetiver, ginger and labdanum, it's not a powdery though - sandalwood makes is creamy. It's the first perfume that changed so dramatically on me! Just wow! Unique for sure. After 30 minutes it becomes very aromatic and lavendery :)

This reminds me so much of something that I smelled in the 90’s at Nordstrom-Donna Karan DK Men or Unleaded. Or maybe Thierry Mugler A*Men. Very nostalgic smell for me. If I was a guy I’m sure I’d remember exactly what it was but I didn’t buy any of those for anyone, just smelled them. Anyway, I like this & I have the Unique’e coffret so I’ll be spending more time with it.

Wow...I was not expecting this...Barbershop cologne with dark chocolate undertones. I guess I should have read the reviews before ordering my decant. How annoying. Also, where it says "Amber" I think they meant Ambroxan... It reeks of toxic, harsh Ambroxan. I need to wash my wrist before it triggers a migraine... Yeah, Axe Temptation....there you go!

Very masculine w/ tons of lavender and plenty of vetiver...would consider this aromatic and not gourmand. Certainly any fragrance can be worn by anyone but this smells like the men's cologne section of a department store where multiple male-marketed colognes have been sprayed and mingled throughout the day.

A light or heavy Coco butter lotion depending on number of sprays. The drydown brings more of the floral out making it better than the opening, way better. Not something I'd reach for and won't be reaching for in liquid fragrance form either.

I agree with Jcqmcd's review below. Although it does not smell as tedious as body spray, it smells like a mediocre typical mens mainstream designer at the lower end with a cheap smelling synthetic chocolate note. An absolute disaster

Wow this is amazing. I did not see that coming. Its is a cacao and chocolate fragrance but in the same time has some fresh vibe to it. Amazing stuff! Unisex but leans male after an hour imo.
