Dubai Chocolate Perfume

There’s definitely pistachio here — the top notes open with a true, rich pistachio note. The dry down becomes slightly powdery, and that’s when the chocolate really starts to come through. It’s basically everything I wanted 33 to be. Compared to that one, this is stronger, more realistic, and has much more depth. I actually sold my Kayali because my nose only ever picked up powder from it — this one is far superior for me.

This is a beast. Probably the best Dubai chocolate style perfume ever! Do not miss it. It’s a masterpiece and it doesn’t resemble Kayali’s Yum Pistachio Gelato in any shape or form. It’s quite unisex, not so overly sweet and it lasts forever on skin. Pretty realistic still wearable Dubai chocolate fragrance. Very well done! 5/5

I don't get anything soapy from this. It is a beast mode Dubai chocolate gourmand. Pretty straight forward

I got this when it released ($75 w/ the coupon), and it arrived very quickly. I was excited to try this bc I like Sidonie Lancesseur, but tbh, this was a little mid. Vivamor's Dubai Chocolate is basically just Kayali Yum Pistachio Gelato mixed with a chocolate/cocoa base. On first spray, the scent comes out quite balanced and nice. As it dries down, it quickly becomes more Yum Pistachio Gelato than chocolate as the YPG DNA amps up while the chocolate fades more into the background. After about 20 minutes, I can't really detect the chocolate in there at all anymore. It just feels like 95% YPG that is slightly warmer. Overall, this perfume is likeable, but for me, it was a little disappointing. It wasn't the chocolately, nutty, decadent scent I was hoping for. If you told me this was a Kayali flanker, I would have believed you (but then, people would definitely be upset that the flanker was too close to the OG). If you have a YPG or any of its dupes/clones, try layering it with a chocolate scent and see how you like it. Personally, I feel like if you have an iteration of YPG already, you don't need this. I might return my bottle bc it's quite redundant in my collection, and I'm running out of space. Luckily, it came with a carded sample so my full bottle is still sealed.

The drydown had a prominent soapy pistachio. I hardly got any chocolate notes on my skin
