In the wrong bottle
They switched you after birth. You always knew, that's why you were so rebellious They called you 'Chocolat', as if there was something happy and sweet about you. Yet you were always somber and serious, albeit with a warm core. In search of your true self, you lost your way, wavering constantly between sour, tart, earthy, dark-spicy, boozy, oriental, green, powdery, sweet...
Your gender? You don't know anymore. You just know that you're exclusively welcome and wanted in the winter. But usually only when they know you, or find you without having sought you out - how many times have you been spurned by people whose expectation of your name you could not meet?
I don't know your real name. But that of your parents: Patchouli and Cocoa.

Chocolat starts with a strong, almost resinous - tart cocoa note. Dry, powdery, dairy-free, sugar-free. Patchouli joins soon and together they dominate the fragrance. In addition, aromatic-spicy nutmeg and a strict, dark vanilla in the background. Tangerine, jasmine? Must have taken flight. Instead, I smell in the heart, very tentatively, a liqueur-like fruitiness, perhaps cherry or plum, which now brings a certain, tart sweetness into play after all. I can't tell if I'm dealing with a gourmand here, though. This scent delivers so many qualities that I find it hard to clearly delineate. Also, something reminds me of wood polish.
The similarity to Angel I perceive, however, Chocolat is more tart, more masculine, more versatile and above all less sweet.

An exciting fragrance, which fell into my hands only by chance and which I would certainly never have found on my own.

Cho-co-not-so-sweet
Yes, I confess, I belong to the probably dying breed of gourmand fragrance lovers.
And yet I find this fragrance fascinating
Sounds weird. But it is!
Because "chocolate" is not a gourmand. Not really. Well, yeah, but not really. When I read "Chocolat", I think of a sweet piece of milk chocolate - preferably the one with the cow. But this scent is rather tart, slightly fruity, not over-sugared - more like a piece of dark chocolate dusted with a hint of cocoa. Do you know the situation when you hold the fork to your mouth when you eat tiramisu, inhale it by mistake and the cocoa flies to your palate so that you have to cough directly? That's about the same scent, only it's beautiful
Because of the bitter note I find it quite suitable for men, but personally I am free of pain anyway. Tom Daxon once said so beautifully that gender classification in fragrances is a pure marketing concept. I unreservedly agree with this
When I consider that the fragrance was created 23 years ago, it still feels a bit ahead of its time. For friends of unusual chypres, it's definitely worth a try.

One of the few scents I keep getting compliments on. Lovely, warm, cuddly, and great longevity - and, in my opinion, very much underrated.
