The Noble Gourmand
Shade of Chocolate starts with the very noticeable bergamot. As it develops, coffee and cocoa notes come through very well, and the minimal citrus freshness remains intact. Even though one might not think so, the notes of this fragrance blend together quite nicely. It is certainly not a scent for everyone, that much can be said, but I find it somehow beautifully chocolatey and alcoholic due to the rum. The tonka bean adds a rounder and creamier touch.
For me, this is not an edible gourmand, but a noble gourmand that smells like perfume, can one say that?
In any case, it is worth a try. The bottle is also a total eye-catcher.
Caution: not a candidate for blind buying.

If Beyoncé were to wear a fragrance on stage....it's this one!
I am in love! Such an amazing, warm, heavy, present, sexy, yellow floral diva scent. It is definitely a perfume that grabs attention & is also meant for the big appearance. I automatically think of Beyoncé, as I mentioned in my headline, performing "Listen" on stage while sparks rain down from the ceiling in a long, golden evening gown adorned with lots of glittering jewelry. Or also of Naomi Campbell on the catwalk.
Otherwise, I can also say that you really need to be careful with this one. Less is actually more (which I rarely say about perfumes), because it is truly super filling the room. No more than 2, at most 3 sprays should be used. Not only will your fellow humans suffer, but you will definitely get a headache too!

Not too sweet or boring gourmand. It truly has different facets of chocolate. U can wear w/ a beautiful velvety evening dress. Dark, complex

Dark, bitter, cozy hot chocolate with patchouli, or freshly bubbling chocolate pudding. Nice! But: Nothing absolutely new vs. high price...

Delicious + not too sweet authentic chocolate. Spiced with a hint of coffee, rum, pepper + flowers. Served on creamy sandalwood. Great!

70% cocoa chocolate with fruit + citrus. Later soft, woody hints. Patchouli doesn’t want to show up. H/S okay.

Initially a dry, herbal chocolate coffee with beast mode sillage, later it becomes close - woody, spicy, warm.
