Eau de Cacao Coppeneur 2006

Hello, you scent enthusiasts and sweet-tooths! Today we’re talking about a fragrance that sounds delicious just by its name: Eau de Cacao (by Coppeneur)! Now, let’s be honest: Who among you doesn’t like cocoa? It’s a bit like coffee… it smells really good even when you just sniff the cocoa powder (or coffee powder), and it actually tastes good when you drink it, no matter when and how you drink it. Hot on cold days or cold on hot days! Wow, that’s quite a tongue twister, he he :D

Moreover, cocoa is good in many ways: It tastes good, it makes you happy, and since it’s usually made with milk, it really helps if you’ve burned your tongue on spicy food. You know (hopefully) that you shouldn’t drink water with overly spicy food, because it just spreads the heat more on your tongue and the cooling effect only feels good for a short time. Many say you should eat bread instead, as it supposedly absorbs the spicy elements, which is true. However, psychologically speaking, bread doesn’t help many because it feels dry and warm. That’s why milk is the best choice to eliminate spiciness, as it’s fatty and washes the heat off your tongue. And together with cocoa, you get a nice aftertaste as well. So if you want to show off this summer while grilling that you can handle really spicy stuff, then occasionally take a discreet sip of cocoa instead of water, cola, or beer, if you’re a wuss and feel like you’ve bitten into a hot pepper and want to hide that fact :DD

He he, but now I finally get to the scent… since I’m already craving cocoa and will surely have some of that chocolatey powder soon (wow, that sounds drug-addicted!), I’ll quickly write the scent description and then make myself milk with tea… NO, I meant milk with cocoa!!

**The scent:**
It immediately smells of sweet cocoa. Well, actually more like a mix of cocoa and chocolate, making the scent particularly sweet but also particularly delicious. Thus it makes your mouth water, stimulates cravings, and distracts you because you want to grab something sweet to snack on, and I’m NOT talking about you perfumes (because I know you think that again, that I might have meant that, since I write this too often and so…)!!! Besides, you wouldn’t snack anyway… at least not from me… which is always so mean… ARGH!
…
Okay, wait a second…. I’ll quickly grab something to snack on… of course chocolate (it has to be eaten before it starts to melt in this heat!) May you drool now!!
…
Alright, let’s continue with the scent description. As I said, the scent is currently very chocolatey, with the chocolate coming across as powdery. The cocoa notes are somewhat overshadowed because the scent now generally smells intensely of chocolate. Slowly, however, it develops another aromatic and even “juicy” or let’s say “airy” chocolate note, which definitely makes me think of the mentioned pralines, and I believe these pralines are even filled with a bit of rum.
Even much later, about six to seven hours after spraying, the scent smells sweet and powdery of chocolate, now however with a lot of vanilla added, with the vanilla becoming stronger over time, so that the very late base only smells of vanilla.
A lovely scent for everyone who especially likes chocolate and vanilla!

**The sillage and longevity:**
The sillage is quite okay, and you can smell the fragrance from not too far away. The chocolate initially smells quite intense, but overall the scent has a rather medium sillage, so it’s not particularly strong, but also not too weak.
The longevity is enormous with such scents… you can still faintly smell the vanilla on your skin the next morning.

**The bottle:**
The bottle is red and looks as if it represents a lady in a red evening gown, with the brown, oval cap being the head. However, it’s more likely that the bottle represents a cocoa fruit, where the cocoa beans are inside. The cocoa fruit looks similar (that is, like the bottle, not like a woman!) and can be red as well as orange. In any case, the bottle is interesting and beautiful, but the fragrance name doesn’t seem to be printed anywhere on it.

So! Wow, I’m about to drool here, folks. The scent is so delicious and, as described, also stimulates cravings, so I’m sure I’ve gained a whole kilo while testing this fragrance. So don’t be surprised if I write again that especially women (I find the scent more feminine than unisex) must smell ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS with this scent. Or you smell as if you’ve spilled a glass of cocoa on yourself, since you’re probably just as clumsy as a sweet friend of mine who constantly spills (and then always looks around discreetly to see if anyone noticed that she’s too incapable of holding a fork properly… :DD).

Anyway, I find this scent very simple but still successful because it smells beautifully gourmand. Due to the intense chocolate notes, I think this scent is best worn in autumn and winter, and I would choose the evening (for going out, partying, etc.) as the occasion.

So, I’m done for today and wish you all a nice evening. Try the scent if you get the chance, eat something spicy (it’s a fat-burner after all!) and drink a lot of cocoa (which will then bring back all that burned fat, mu ha ha ha :DD).
See you then! :)
