Choco Exclusif

Sampling Vivamor Parfums Choco Exclusif, from their recently-released collection of 5, a follow-up to their original collection of 11 from last year, and as its name suggests, it’s chocolate-rich, to my nose, in the way of dry cocoa powder mixed with citruses and a vaguely sweeter based, described officials as a pancakes accord, maple syrup, and vanilla. It feels delicately and carefully put together, not heavy-handed in any one respect. I for one find too much citrus against chocolate to be unpleasant, but the very slight touch in this blend, particularly just in the opening, and it has a slightly spicy quality throughout that gives it some class. I love this one, just as with Caramel Pop, for its realistic, well-conceived, and highly enjoyable gourmand blend, which also performs well. The full Vivamor line is carried not only on the house website but also by great boutiques like Perfumology, and I love that the pricing for this new quintet ($125) is lower than the original collection ($145), still at extrait concentration in 100ml bottle size. 8 out of 10

Let me start off by saying that I generally do not like chocolate, coffee, or overly gourmand/edible fragrances. This is not an overly edible chocolate, the chocolate is a dusty powdery cacao powder type of chocolate. I dont pull the coffee at all on my skin, but I do get the bread/pancake note, but not the syrupy note. With the blood orange though, it takes me back to my childhood when my dad would bring home those Terry's Chocolate Oranges that peel apart like an orange. I like it... Idk if I would wear it all the time, but I like it for nostalgic purposes and will be getting a larger decant or full size just for that.

Ohh this is good! The initial spray is reminiscent of Chocolate Greedy’s dusty cocoa opening, but Choco Exclusif quickly morphs into a rich chocolatey -orangey- but also and most importantly- woody scent. The wood smells like a dry cedar to my nose, nicely balanced with the light sweetness of the orange and chocolate. I don’t find this fragrance to be gourmand- it really isn't sweet- and is perfectly balanced in the middle unisex. I love it on me, but I would equally love it on a man. I am excited to see how this develops over time- since I have heard that Vivamore/Navitus increase in longevity and projection over time.

Although I get no coffee or pancakes and syrup, this is beautiful very dark chocolate that develops in to a 🍊strong blood orange and🍦 vanilla scent. It has projection and lasts a long time. Giving those around you a treat! I feel like it can be worn all year round.. it's not a heavy or cloying fragrance. I thought I would love caramel pop more from this vivamor collection, but I love this one just as much! It's a delicious semi sweet dark chocolate orange vanilla Godiva chocolate 🍫. I want a backup bottle 😅

Ok, I love this fragrance. It’s so good. But I SWEAR there’s oud in this. It sprays on rich chocolate (with a tinge of citrus) and then turns into a sweet chocolaty oud. As this dries down, I get some of the pancake accord (very buttery and sticky sweet) but I still feel like there has to be oud in here. It does this barn yard thing in the mid on my skin that only an oud could do. That said, I will definitely be adding this to my collection. It’s giving genderless decadence and I’m here for it all.
