Tease Cocoa Soirée

I was really exited to receive this as I had read very opposing reviews. Generally I'm not a big gourmand fan but I do enjoy creamy, chocolatey scents if they have a fair amount of floral or woody notes to balance them out and make them smell like a delicious perfume instead of simply a dessert. In this perfume I find this balance. I don't really enjoy the opening, there is fruitiness that does not remind me of berries but rather something tropical (a mix of fruits perhaps or red apple?? ) but thankfully it very soon dries down to a more rounded and creamy, soft cocoay scent,that makes me keep sniffing my wrist all day. It is really really creamy and also pretty sweet but not cloying. It's like it has vanilla cream as a note and I believe the official website writes chantilly cream in the description so I guess that's what I'm smelling. Longevity for me is very good, I wore it before going to work and I could still smell it after my shift was over 8hs later, although it had become more of a skin scent (however still notisable) It kinda gives me the impression that it has ylang ylang or banana or something a little tropical which I don't particularly enjoy but thankfully that note gets muted early on as it dries down. Update : Day 3 of wearing this perfume. Today I noticed that the initial fruity scent comes out more rounded than the first times I used the perfume and it becomes creamy much faster on my skin. I think I love it. Update: Day 5, the perfume no longer gives me the banana - ylang ylang vibe. It's creamy and sweet. The combination of cocoa and chantilly cream creates the impression of white chocolate instead of dark, that's why most don't associate it with a chocolate perfume. Personally I absolutely love that white chocolate smell! And my boyfriend loved it! He says he finds it sexy and very feminine and that it's his favourite so far. He's never been this exited about a perfume so that says a lot! Oh! And by the way, it 100% has a little bit of ambroxan in its formula even though it isn't detectable by smelling it at any of its development stages. I had to wash something with warm water so the perfume on my wrists got washed away almost completely. And all that is left is ambroxan! Probably that's the reason it develops so differently on many people.

It's absolutely changed into my favorite perfume ever. Wasnt what i was hoping for at first but it is beautiful and i dont regret buying it. The body mist is rather decent for being just a body mist. I stocked up. I got the perfume too. I layer it with tease creme cloud and Britney spears prerogative and it's got a similar vibe to pure seduction in the opening of the body mist. It's far from cocoa though. In the dry down there is some mocha but it's light. Smells great with creme tease alone. As it dries down, it gets smoother and less freesia. If you want a cocoa scent, this doesn't deliver. But it is a beautiful perfume and I'm glad I got it. But the name is misleading. Layered with tease creme, this lasts me several hours. On the skin. It's not heavy to those around you. And that's good. That's not what I want. Also layers well with into the night bbw and tease candy nior. And with pure seduction and pure seduction cashmere. Edit: it's got a similar vibe to it like bombshell in bloom without the bombshell DNA. So if you like bombshell in bloom you will love this. The freesia is obvious. Smells amazing layered with velvet petals shimmer lotion and mist. AS WELL as CH good girl supreme. All 3 heavenly together.

I’m sorry, but this is delicious!!! Low-key obsessed with this new release... To me it smells like Tease with chocolate. The floral note rounds it out very nicely. It’s not extremely sweet like something like Fantasy by BS but much sweeter than Tease OG. I think it’s fantasic😩. Hubby likes it too! I sprayed about ~9-10 sprays and had great sillage and could smell it around me for a while. I can still smell it 4 hours later, but it’s a skin scent and doesn’t project anymore. I really love OG Tease, but for some reason it dissipates in .5 seconds when I spray, I really have to aggressively overspray it and even then it has 0 sillage. This flanker is more potent than the OG for me which never worked. Overall, yes it smells amazing but it’s expensive for the performance.. It seems I’m the minority but I can totally smell the Choc/Mocha in this and it performs much better than the OG Tease with my chemistry. I have the mini sample bottle which I can refill and carry on my purse for touch-ups anyway. 🍫*•~*• 🍓~*•~* 🌸 •~*•~ 🍐

Out of all the tease flankers I’ve smelled (original, crème cloud, sugar fleur), this is my favorite one, up there next to the OG. This has such a pretty smell, not too sweet, not too fruity, not too chocolatey. Perfectly balanced. It reminds me a little of wicked, which I loved but couldn’t wear because I was allergic. This smells so nice. It definitely has the OG DNA, but you can smell the mocha lingering in the background, giving it an unmistakable warmth. The freesia is the same one from wicked, and gives it a floral touch without smelling like a bouquet. This is so pretty! Much better than sugar fleur (which i ended up giving away because I hated it, very artificial and cloying to me), it’s a lot softer more blended out. I like this one! I might have to buy a backup bottle.

My fragrance first love. Like 2 years ago a friend of mine had mentioned this to me saying it smelled really good and I went into the store and smelled it and went DAMNNN that IS good!!! And I proceeded to buy the roll on. Was the only fragrance I used pretty much from the time I bought it up until this past holiday season when I went into the store with cash hoping to buy a larger size bottle. It was not in stock so I bought the regular version and thus I ended up using that as well. In these past few months I’ve misplaced the roll on. I miss her every day, but I’m too stubborn to buy a new one because I know it has to be somewhere. Had this in my perfumes I have tier, but bit the bullet and demoted it to “had” for the time being. One day she will return to my lineup.

I love this fragrance- not as much as I love the OG tease and the Candy Noir Tease, but its the 3rd best Tease in my opinion. The biggest issue is it lasts literally 30 minutes... then its gone. I tried layering it with others to get it to project a little more and stick around but any perfume you layer with it just over powers the scent. Its very soft. I think I wasted 70 euros on this- sadly because there's no point even wearing it if its gone by the time you've left the house. I would purchase VLJ Noir instead- smells very similar and its a fraction of the cost and lasts a little longer. VS perfumes last as long as their body mists and its so disappointing because the sweeter ones smell so good! sad sad sad.

I get more compliments from this thing than I do for all my pricier buys. It's only very lightly cocoa-y, kind of like cocoa powder. The freesia for once in my life plays really nicely on my skin, just adding a bit of floral sweetness. But the berry note is amazing - I think I smell like a chocolate-covered strawberry out of a cartoon about fairies. There's an inviting warmth to the scent, too - some kind of unlisted woody base - to keep it from being too overly juvenile. I don't know why this scent is so addictive, but it is. I have to overspray to get it to last, but it's worth it for how uplifting the scent is and how much everyone loves it on me. I bought three bottles before it sold out.

I bought this scent on sale and after some wearing I do find it to be pleasant. The original Tease definitely is present in this with berry notes and a very faint coco die down. I can very faint smell a whipped cream/marshmallow scent coming through the coco note which compliments the berry very well. I find this perfume to last 2-3 hours on clothes and 4-5 hours on direct skin. I find the die down to be more pleasant than the “first spray” as the coco seems to shine through then which is my only complaint about it. My boyfriend compliments me every time I wear it and it’s most of the reason I decided to wear it more.

Heartbroken that this was discontinued before I ever got the chance to buy a full-sized bottle. Furthermore, for as much as I liked it, I only bought a travel size and against my attempts to make it last, I accidentally dropped it behind a large and immovable table, so that was the end of that. While I had it, the chocolate and espresso notes played well with each other, balancing one another well without overpowering. It also played well with the vanillas I had. And now it's gone. Forever. Like most good things.

I’m head over heels for this perfume! I’ve tried everything from Maison Francis to Mancera and a limited release from Victoria’s Secret is what I think could be my new signature scent. I wore this to dinner and a waitress followed me to my table asking what perfume I was wearing saying I smelt amazing.... I took the bottle out of my bag and showed her. It’s the most decadent scent of dusted cocoa powder on ripe strawberries... and then it dries down to sweet mocha with sugar and creamy freesia. I’m obsessed 🍓

I absolutely love it, it's a delicious scent. I'm so glad I have a backup bottle, I can't stop myself from reaching for it almost every day. It's sweet, fluffy, dessert berries with creamy mocha in the background, well balanced. I saw many reviews wishing it was stronger on the cocoa note rather than berries, but I think it's perfect the way it is. They should've named it differently though, for those who blind bought it judging by the name it can be not enough cocoa note in it. For me it's 5/5, LOVE.

This agrees with my chemistry so well! I get noticeable berries and cocoa (I would even say more of a cafe mocha) and just enough freesia to keep it from being syrupy sweet. I think it’s very well blended and it lasted 12+ hours on my skin. I kept smelling it throughout the day forgetting I had it on. One of those “what smells so good” moments then realizing oh it’s ME! This is one of VS bests in a long time. So well done. The bottle is adorable too.

For those of you saying it doesn't last, how long have you had it, have you let it mancerate or is it brqnd new? This perdume has very good performance amd longevity on me, and it really changed into a more creamy scent after a couple of weeks. I smell white chocolate, a hint of cocoa powder berries and fresia?? I am pretty sure it has ambroxan in the mix, that is what gives the fresia scent but makes it last even after I have washed my skin.

I enjoy the entire Tease line from VS, but Cocoa Soiree is my favorite. It's sweet, yet calm and cozy! Sometimes sugary gourmands can be too dense for me, but this is just right! As a romantic, I love the combination of fruits and chocolate; it's so sensual! So I'm not happy about it's apparent discontinuation, but I read that the Berry Brulee release is similar to it so I'll check it out!

Blind bought this one, I love it! It's mostly berries + cocoa to my nose (thankfully not rasberries that I dislike), especially in the opening. Feminine, playful, sexy or flirty, yet elevated. Not like the sporty fruity scents; it has the VS's DNA and vibes. I was hoping for more chocolate, but I can only slightly detect cocoa (and a bit of freesia in the background). It's addicting 😁🥰🩷🩷🩷

I am so happy I finally have this! It reminds me of all my favorite scents (sweet, vanilla, woody but with the berry/floral twist that makes it perfume y) but it’s comfier and easier To wear all day everyday and even to bed. It’s affordable so I am going to go through this bottle so fast. Absolutely love this, it’s perfect for elevated gourmand lovers!

This is my favorite victoria’s secret perfume! It smells chocolate-y for sure but I also definitely smell berries...normally this would probably put me off a bit but it’s really well done in this perfume to me...I love it 😛 this might be a bit silly but it smells best during the winter in my opinion like the cold air adds to it if that makes sense lol

Mix tease cocoa sioree with black opium and it smells just like good girl supreme or perogative! Actually a bit stronger in berries than good girl supreme but same vibe. Smells identical to perogative If mixed with black opium and that perfume is 25 dollars. Tease cocoa sioree lasts longer though. But if you have bs perogative, you can skip on this.

my favorite perfume being discontinued broke my heart... I love the balance between chocolate and fruity berries. This sweet scent definitely isn't for all. If you're seeking for something mature don't recommend this perfume. Also loved the longevity if the perfume alone. I can't imagine layering with the matching body lotion and body mist.

Oh am I in love with this perfume! Bright, juicy berries, chocolatey coffee and a hint of florals. I personally think this is strong (people could definitely smell it on you if you walk by!) and it lasts forever on me. I tried layering this with B&BW Vanilla Mocha Cafe and it was divine 🤤 This will definitely be my go to fragrance for fall!

When I saw that VS had a sale for perfumes, I just had to get it. This was a blind buy since there weren't any testers around and I am very happy with my purchase. The chocolate scent comes in after the smell has settled. In my opinion, if you spray enough, the smell lasts for a long time. Get it if you're into sweet smells.

Smells absolutely lovely. It does have some soft woodiness to it, as well light cocoa. It is sweet yet bitter, and lightly intense, with gentle notes of fruitiness. It has a floral tone as well, but I would say it is a more complimentary scent. The mocha tones do explain the bittersweetness, and I love it dearly for that.

BRING THIS ONE BACK - i beg. at least for the semi annual sale. Smells like valentines day, creamy chocolate and fresh picked strawberries with bright sugar on top. So sexy and delicate, this is what gen z’s post modern re-imagination of what a girl in the late 2000s smelled like.

My absolute winter fave. Fizzy crisp berries followed by soft and sweet cocoa. Shines in all its glory during nighttime whenever you go out but also soo good during daytime! Got endless compliments wearing it. VS I AM BEGGING YOU PLEASE BRING THIS BACK!!!

i remember smelling this in store in 2023 and loved it, but kind of forgot to pick it up lol. i went to buy a bottle recently and found out it was discontinued. if anyone is looking to sell theirs please send a message!

This smells delicious, and lasts pretty long on hair and clothes, in a few hours, it turns into more lighter skin scent. Sweet and creamy but not overly sweet. It would be perfect for fall.

I just love love love this scent.... I mean - having this autumn or winter oooh nice and oh lala... This is very sexy and sensual scent. Makes me happy for sure...

i love this!! it smells sooo good, it reminds me of a chilled chocolate strawberry cupcake. it's not too gourmand but it's rich and nice. my new signature scent.

She's so wild! So animal! She's gonna work that sexy body, so sexual She's like a female phenomenon, she's a glamazon A female phenomenon. A glama-z-a-a-on

This scent is so beautiful on me! Lasts 7 hrs, and I absolutely love the scent of chocolate and how it ever so slightly layers above the berry.

Smells like a date where you feed each other chocolate covered strawberries. Perfect blend of sweetness & bitterness.

LOVE! it’s so creamy with some sweetness. overall it’s seductive and attractive. it lasts so long on clothing!

smells like chocolate covered strawberries!! best victoria’s secret fragrance imo

this smells EXACTLY like Rio Radiance by Sol De Janeiro, soooo good!!

BRING IT BACKKKKKKKKK! I DOUBLE THIS, I WILL BUY IT!

It's more vanilla than cocoa to me, as others have stated. I like her though. Tease is very nostalgic to me but is very fruity and floral. This is more fruity and floral in the initial spray before it gives way to a soft and spicy vanilla. The floral is still noticeable but is also softer. I think it's a good in-between for floral and gourmand lovers like myself. The longevity is average. I was hoping for a more distinctive chocolate smell, I get vanilla but if I can use my imagination I could see hot cocoa mix. I think this frag is a grower, not a shower. If you expect the gourmand notes right off the bat you will be dissatisfied but if you can be patient she'll show you her true self. For some reason, I get the *tiniest* hint of rubber in the dry down. It could be just me and perhaps I'm delusional. Still, I can't stop my wrists when I put some of this on. She also layers beautifully with creamy vanilla gourmand frags and body sprays. I layered it with a light spritz of vanilla body from Happy Nation (why is there no Fragrantica page for this?) spray that I also got at VS which is a sweet true vanilla and I splashed a bit of Vanilla Woods on top. Divine. I'm a woody spicy vanilla floral girl and this frag ticks most of my boxes. Why choose between floral and gourmand? You can have it all!

To me the combination of raspberry, a more subtle blackberry, and the longwearing dark cocoa are very reminiscent of chocolate covered strawberries. These long scent notes are accompanied by Chantilly cream, vanilla, a touch of expresso and powdered florals - I get the freesia, with maybe peony and rose? I don't pick up on any major changes between the heart and base of the perfume, except some musk & sandalwood as the fragrance begins to dry down. Cocoa Soirée has the potential to become one of my favourite cold-weatiher perfumes this upcoming autumn & winter season; it is warming and cozy. Although I'm wearing it happily as we head into warmer & brighter weather, as the soft florals & airy cream keep the fruit, cocoa and expresso from being too heavy. The only downside for me is the longevity for Cocoa Soiree; it lasts for around 5 to 6 hours on me, which is disappointing for a perfume in this price range. It hasn't put me off recommending Cocoa Soiree, but is does lessen my enjoyment of it a teensy bit.

My review is for Evening of Cacao Temptation, Dua’s version of this. It’s not listed on here yet. I have never smelled Tease Cocoa Soirée, but I’ve heard plenty about it. This is really pretty, but generally I’m not the fondest of chocolate in perfumery so this is not a love. Also, I got my bottle on Mecari so no idea how old it is. There is a slight acetone note in the top that is a turn off, but it does wear off. When I smell that I usually assume the bottle is turned or it has patchouli in it. Dua doesn’t show patchouli in the notes. I mostly get the berries, cream and a hint of chocolate. Surprisingly, it’s not super sweet or dark and sexy like the name implies. If you’re missing VS TCS, I recommend trying this, it’s only $33 on Dua’s website, but you may find a bottle second hand somewhere for even cheaper. When I bought mine, Dua was sold out so it’s very popular. I’ll probably keep my bottle for 6 mos or so unless it gets better because it is pretty synthetic in my opinion.

Sweet, flirty, fruity, creamy, and delicious. I blind bought this because I really love the Tease line of fragrances, but was a little nervous because of the whipped mocha note. I was very pleasantly surprised to once I tried it, the mocha is soft and subtle. I get a sweet, slightly tart, yummy, mixed berry (maybe some raspberry and blueberry?) scent. Creamy and delicious vanilla shines through to warm things up along with the subtle whipped mocha and a touch of florals. Overall I really enjoy it and I think it’s another great addition to the Tease fragrance line and an easy reach! Just for reference I own and love the original Sexy Little Things Noir, Tease, Tease Temptation, Tease Crème Cloud, Tease Candy Noir, Tease Dreamer, and Tease Cocoa Soirée. I get really good performance with Cocoa Soirée. The longevity is great, it lasts all day on me. The projection is really nice too, it radiates out about an arm’s length from me.

This is undoubtedly the standout among the Tease fragrances. However, I do wish it had a stronger chocolate scent. It leans more towards a berry and floral aroma, with just a subtle hint of chocolate. The chocolate note is present but not fully pronounced; it's as if it's teasing your senses. You catch a whiff of it, but when you try to get a better sniff, it seems to retreat. It leaves you yearning for more. If it had a more prominent chocolate note, this might easily become one of my favorite perfumes. This fragrance would be perfect for a romantic dinner date. Now for longevity, I would rate this very highly. I went perfuming shopping like at around 5pm and sprayed it onto a paper strip and when I came home I left it on my desk. I got up to use the restroom at around 3am and when I passed by my desk it smelled very strongly of Tease Cocoa Soiree. This amazed me!

Truly smells like creamy berries dipped in chocolate. i wore it to uni mornings and have gotten compliments, it is such an easy to wear, inoffensive scent and isn't strong for daytime which is great. i feel like it deff has cocoa-chocolate and whipped cream notes but i dont know why it isnt mentioned, DEFINETLY not strawberry t my nose, but i do get slight mocha as well. reminds me of viva la juicy gold couture & bare vanilla from VS all together. the only disappointment is THIS DOESNT LAST. you need to overspray or re-spray every hour! i have bought the whole set (Lotion, body mist, edp) and it barely has any silage after a few hours and it just sits too close to skin. i do however use the lotion to layer up any of my other vanilla or chocolaty fragrances. i wish it lasts longer! wouldn't repurchase.

I received a bottle of this as my Secret Santa present at work, and frankly, I wasn’t expecting much. Chocolate notes can be really hit or miss for me, and I don’t like the original Tease (vanilla bomb with funeral flowers and an orange air freshener). But this is surprisingly nice! I don’t get a lot of coffee or freesia with it, but I do get chocolate covered strawberries, and it has surprisingly good longevity and silage. It lasts through a whole eight hour shift with pretty good silage. I do think this is definitely a cool weather perfume, I can see this getting obnoxious in hot and humid weather, as it is quite a sweet scent. Is it amazingly groundbreaking? No. Is it a perfectly serviceable cool weather everyday scent? I think so! Thank you mystery coworker, I really like the present! 😊

This one surprised me, it’s a true creamy gourmand, but done in a very easygoing way. The wild berries give it a sparkly, fruity edge right at the top, like a bite of something juicy before the dessert kicks in .... Then comes the mocha, smooth, rich and chocolatey not too bitter, not overly sweet. The coffee vibe lingers delicately, and I love how the freesia softens it all, keeping it from becoming too heavy. It’s cozy, flirty, and slightly decadent like whipped cream on warm cocoa with a berry twist. Perfect for days when I want to feel playful, sweet, and snug in my own little scented bubble. – Bhavna Darira Chesan

I smelled cocoa as soon as I opened the package. Upon spraying I got more of the fruity slightly floral scent and then the original tease with a hint of mocha after it’s dried down. The mocha is listed last so I didn’t expect it to be an overwhelmingly chocolatey scent in the first place. It pretty much just smells like an upgraded creamier version of the original tease which I don’t mind. One tip is to dab a bit of spiced chocolate scented perfume like DUA Chocolate Rum and Vanilla (after the scent has settled into its sweetness) or Guerlain Gourmand Coquin before this and it brings out the mocha. Love this scent!

Slightly disappointed with this flanker. To me it's definitely more berry heavy than the name would lead you to belive,the cocoa/mocha notes are very mild. It's a sweet candy-like berry with hints of powdery mocha (I get coco powder vibes,it's not a creamy mocha) in the drydown; pretty scent,but nothing groundbreaking. I do prefer this over the previous flanker, but it's not the gourmand scent I was hoping for. Average sillage, lasts about 4 hours on my skin,but does last a bit longer on clothes. If you like berries it's a good buy, if your looking for a cocoa or mocha bomb this isn't it.

Someone said that this reminded them of chocolate covered strawberries and I can kind of smell that too. The coffee/mocha note adds a creamy chocolatey aspect to the perfume, which I find to be quite berry dominant. I really like this scent although it gives me headaches everytime I wear it. Even if it’s just one spray, I catch a waft of it on my wrist and my head immediately aches. It’s such a shame because it’s a really pretty scent that I do really like, but I think it’s just so overpowering especially in the opening that I don’t tend to reach for this perfume.

I bought this secondhand. It’s a super fun scent. It’s a sweet, effervescent berry fragrance with a hint of florals. It’s not an absolute gourmand - it leans a little more shampoo-y, and the cocoa is very mild to my nose. The dry down becomes a wonderful sultry fruity-musk scent. It’s an easy reach and definitely mass appealing. Hopefully I will get more of the cocoa once this sits for a while.

🫧 this perfume is pretty nice. I really like it. however, the mocha is pretty light. 🫧 I can see where they were going when they said mocha. I smell a lot of berries. this is a very sexy scent. 🫧 it lasts the whole day. I have the rollerball. I smell like berries and fruits with a tiny bit of mocha added to it. it's really nice. I would suggest it if you like sexy fruity scents! 🫶🏾

I really like this scent a lot! The only downside is its poor performance. Like every Victoria's Secret mist, it fades pretty quickly on my skin. I opted for the mist instead during a sale. It's very pretty, it has a chocolatey mocha scent with a hint of berry fruitiness. Someone in the reviews said it is like "strawberry covered in chocolate," and I totally get that :)

This is a mix between the OG and the old school sexy little things noir they had back in the day. The woody notes in this make the fruit seem so thick and syrupy. This doesn't lean "cocoa" smelling for me but there is warmth to it in comparison to the OG. I actually like this one and Ive not liked some of the past flankers.
