Stunning dark chocolate truffle
Wow! What a scrumptious, well-made, sensual, multilayered gourmand dream this is.

It smells like an expensive praliné made of dark chocolate and a fruity, slightly boozy filling of strawberry, cherry and plum. A beautiful honey note sweetens it up, while saffron adds the tiniest hint of spicy sharpness. Vanilla, of course, makes the drydown smooth and warm. The chocolate is so dark and cacao-heavy that it almost smells like coffee at first, the fruit dry down to a deep plum jam. And then the truffle note emerges and adds a mysterious earthy touch to the scent.
The fragrance lasts forever and you can sense all the notes until the far drydown.

I was really sceptical if I would like this. Honey sometimes turns weird on my skin, and chocolate fragrances often have a cheap, candle-like waxiness to my nose. I'm also not a fan of gourmands that are too literal and edible, I prefer them a little more blended and perfumey. But all my worries were unnecessary. This is more than a simple foody scent, the honey note is nice and clean and there is nothing waxy about this. Some enthusiastic reviews drew me in to try it, and I'm really glad I did.
Dolce Passione is something special.

The Chocolatiest of Them All
"Sensei, you smell like Disneyland!" This is how Dolce Passione was perceived by my 18-year-old students, a bunch of girls whose passion is to spend the money painfully saved from various part-time jobs to travel to this artificial world of retail commercial dreams for children. We're talking about A LOT OF chocolate here, significantly more than in Chocolate Greedy (Montale). We're talking hot, liquid, melted chocolate ready to be poured as glaze over a Devil's Food cake. In the opening there's a whiff of ammonia that some can find off-putting, but it dissipates very quickly.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Sensei, miroși ca Disneyland!" Așa a fost primit Dolce Passione de studentele de anul întâi, niște fete de 18 ani, a căror mare pasiune aici este să-și cheltuie bănuții primiți de la părinți sau strânși de la tot felul de slujbe part-time prin restaurante și cafenele unde lucrează la case de marcat sau ca și chelnerițe, pe excursii in lumea artificială creată de acest comerciant de vise pentru copii. O exclamație care nu poate fi decât de bine, având in vedere ca gustările care stau împrăștiate pe bănci înainte de a începe cursurile sunt întotdeauna pe bază de ciocolată. Sau că de câte ori se întorc din excursiile Disney World & Sea, împart cu noi toți capete de Mickey Mouse si Goofy din ciocolată. Multe mi-au și cerut numele mărcii și au căutat pe mobile Pantheon Roma.

Vorbim de multă, multă ciocolată aici. Semnificativ mai multă decât in Chocolate Greedy de la Montale. Și mult mai fierbinte, lichidă și concentrată, aproape gata să fie turnată ca glazură peste un tort. Doar la început și doar după o aplicație foarte generoasă simt ammonia care a oripilat-o pe Jomas. Dar pentru mine senzația dispare repede, în câteva minute. In drydown devine mai vanilată, un pic laptoasă, dar evident ciocolată. Nu știu dacă e de bine sau de rău, totul depinde de ce îți dorești. Mie îmi place ciocolata, mai ales iarna, pe ger. Și mult mai mult, mă ajută și la dietă, tăindu-mi pofta de dulciuri.

The sweetest temptation since chocolate was invented.
Wow! Why is he flying so under the radar?
What a pity! for me, Dolce Passione is actually one of THE most beautiful fragrances if you want to smell like dark, deep, rich chocolate and simply mouth-watering.
The name kind of gives it away - and it's not misleading at all!

In short: chocolate, fruit and lots of sweetness should be liked and tolerated. Not overwhelming, but present. But then the fragrance can really warm the heart.

The start immediately brings chocolate into play. Dark, smooth to dark, simply great. And absolutely authentic! I am totally surprised. Many fragrances fail here. Not this one. I also detect a slight honey note in the depths.
After a while, the fruit slowly pushes forward. As it progresses, the fragrance reminds me more and more of chocolate strawberries from the fair or chocolates with a fruit filling. But the absolute luxury version.
By the end, I can also detect vanilla and tonka - and therefore everything I love. In short: gigantic!

The fragrance always smells very classy, smooth and creamy, dark, expensive, comforting and warm. It is not too much for me personally, but I can imagine that it could be for some noses.

For me, it's a sweet masterpiece!

Laugh riot
When I first perceived the fragrance I had to involuntarily start laughing, why? I don't know. This was my first Gourmand fragrance, which I was allowed to test and they are somehow a double-edged sword for me...

I find the fragrance more than great, but at the same time too much, I unfortunately do not know where and when I could ever wear the without wanting to stand out too much, at the same time it just smells extremely delicious and makes me grin throughout when I perceive this fragrance...
In addition, if I perceive the fragrance for too long, I am at some point "tired" of the fragrance and would need a little break ?

Too much and too little for me
Unfortunately, with Dolce Passione I don't get most of the beautiful ingredients that many other fragrance noses here smell. I almost only smell a sweet hazelnut cream for hours. After about an hour, I also notice a very slightly spicy, woody note. I would love to smell strawberry or plum, for example, as I love both notes in perfumes. Well, and that's pretty much it for my nose. I find the fragrance very penetrating and sweet, and unfortunately boring. And it makes me a little nauseous because of its penetrating sweet character. I actually love gourmands, but this one is just too strong and too one-sided for me, with far too little progression and wearability. Therefore not a candidate for me to wear, let alone buy.

The finest among the chocolate latte. It smells like the luxurious patisserie decorated in gold and marble. 2 sprays inside jacket = +24h.

Unbelievably delicious, I can't stop smelling this. A rich, fruity, chocolate pastry is what I get. Reminds me of a dessert I had as a child

Intoxicating is the only way to describe this one. Dark chocolate, rich and boozy, strawberry and truffle. Absolutely decadent.

Creamy, sumptuous chocolate, leaning towards Nutella. Some strawberry jam in the background. Perfect balance between cacao and sweetness.
