Nerocacao

Incredibile realistic real dark chocolate orange dessert. Super powdery, enveloping. Zero molecole always does magic and they mean real business. If they call a fragrance zerocacao you better rest assured its none of that sweet, cloying synthetic sugary stuff going around nowadays. THIS IS EDIBLE. This is walking into and wearing onto you, a real high luxury patisserie cloud. You smell like Christmas in the best possible way. Its vanilla cookies with orange liquor 100% pure deliciousness. Should make any other chocolate fragrance shy ( except Choco Mancera that has Violet and chocolate instead of orange base). This is sublime, never heavy, Airy, super elegant and feminine, classy and high taste. Even when the dark chocolate note passes in the background, the ongoing blend is just so harmonious. Coconut is barely noticeable at the beginning, thanks to some flowery accent that turns the fragrance into a bright addictive cloud. Longevity is great. And Yes chocolate goes in the background to leave rightfully the stage to a wonderful elegant woman that can conquer all she wants. Its so Airy that its sexy and captivating. Discovered 3 years ago. Not leaving it and the development is something you must try on your own skin ✨️ the floral notes may change. Also someone says they smell all coconut and no cacao, on my skin is the opposite. Either way 10/10 Any gourmand high end lover should own one. The dry down in this one is very different from the opening, so wait a while.

“ Mum, you smell like the air-freshening tree in my friend’s car...” “What are you saying ...? Which tree...?” “The yellow one...” Then I got it... He meant the Arbre Magique and the yellow one is called Vanilla. In fact my son was right – Nerocacao smells exactly like this yellow tree. The cacao note is detectable only for some minutes in the opening. Pity!

I am a sucker for gourmand fragrances, but even this is too much for me! The orange peel mixed with coconut just makes this a bit too sickly for me. They don't mix well on my skin. I do love chocolate notes, but I find they have to be very well balanced, for me to want to wear it all day. I like the thought of chocolate in fragrances but often end up finding it difficult to stomach. Like Montale's Chocolate Greedy, delicious for about a minute, then after that I decide I don't want to smell like the inside of an easter egg, so it's a no go. This is similar to that for me, nice idea, but I just can't live with it! There is very strong orange peel here, and believe me, it IS the peel and the coconut mixed together with vanilla and chocolate. I think Biancolatte from the same line is a much more satisfying and wearable gourmand than this one. On the upside the sillage and longevity is very very good!

This is quite a delicious coconut perfume on my skin although it is slightly synthetic. In this it reminds me of Comptoir Sud Pacifique Vanille Coco, but surprizingly the coconut is even more prominent in Nerocacao on my skin. It must be a chemistry thing but on my skin the cacao is barely there and the vanilla is also just a backdrop. Really nice to wear perfume which is neither too foody nor too sweet. I guess many people would enjoy wearing this and I can also imagine it to be a compliment getter.

Coconut chocolate gourmand. This is a delicious assorted chocolate fragrance, something like "Prestat", "Neuhaus", or "Godiva" fresh coconut type of chocolate with a vanilla ice cream. It is quite weird to smell like a chocolate boutique while you are walking somewhere, or working in your office :) Edit (17th Aug 2017) it's more of a worm milky coconut pie with an unsweetened condensed milk. It is quite a delicious gourmand fragrance, could be a hot chocolate drink as well.

During the first 5 minutes it's burst of dark chocolate with with something baked... probably sweet biscuit. After 5 minutes - orange peel, vanilla, and cocoa are pretty prominent, but I cannot pick up coconut, but it could be because it's just a first impression, so maybe the fragrance needs to rest. It's a great fragrance! If you want chocolate fragrance with some bright accord - that's it!

I tested this fully believing this was a neroli and coconut fragrance, just assumed by the name. I sprayed it and thought “yup smells like a great creamy coconut with neroli” all to come on here to see a fully gourmand note breakdown. Lol. I mean neroli is kinda like orange flower which is kinda like oranges. I am not that far off 💅🏼

The chocolate note doesn’t last. From 10 minutes after spraying is a biscuit vanilla latte. The drydown is a lactonic vanilla smell very similar to Biancolatte
