Sweet Fragrance!!!

... and now I come along and I'm more of a Kinder Chocolate type ;)
Schokobons, Kinder Country, Kinder Chocolate liqueur from the Thermomix, surprise eggs, etc. ...
... with dark chocolate, pralines with strange fillings can really chase me away... but let's see if I can do something with Dolce Passione :)
The fragrance pyramid reads almost like a candy store ... gourmand notes as far as the eye can see.
About the scent:
Dolce Passione starts immediately with a lot of chocolate... a slightly bitter one with hazelnut.
When I sniff closely, a strawberry comes through, specifically the kind you enjoy on a fairground, skewered and covered in chocolate glaze.
Suddenly, a roasted aroma joins in... I can't pinpoint where it comes from, but it gives the fragrance a bit of depth.
As it develops, the bar of slightly bitter chocolate with nuts transforms into a chocolate praline, refined with a powerful dried fruit-honey note.
This is how Dolce Passione holds up, and personally, it's too much of a sweet treat for me!
I don't want to smell like this ... I'd rather eat chocolate!
Tonka bean and vanilla are in a competition in the base with the chocolate-dried fruit mixture, but they can't really fight their way through. With a lot of imagination, I attribute a vanilla truffle filling to the praline.
The longevity is about 8 hours, sillage is moderate.
Dolce Passione definitely belongs in the cold season.
Unisex? I remain silent ;)
The bottle ... hmm... I personally don't find it visually appealing.
Conclusion:
Chocolate pralines with vanilla truffle filling plus dried fruit refined with honey. Sweet fragrance! I'm more of a Kinder Chocolate type ;)
One last note:
Dolce Passione doesn't smell too sweet, but for me, it's way too edible!

Exactly, I don't want to smell edible either. If I ever do, it should be in private and only with the dark chocolate patch "Angel." By the way, I'm the "I snack on everything" type ;-)

This is truly one of the most natural and authentic gourmands I know. The scent is simply delicious, and its sweetness is never annoying. It's just "edible," without ever stopping being a perfume.

edible, sounds good... Thanks for the description, it really sounds like a proper calorie bomb. Here’s a trophy for you, and I’ll add it to my wishlist...

I'm usually more of a floral type than a gourmand type, but chocolate... I can really imagine smelling like chocolate; I don't see why not. Maybe then I wouldn't have to eat so much of it?

Very informative! I like scents like that... sniffing, not wearing. And I'm more into the oddly filled dark chocolate truffles than Kinder chocolate :-P

I’d like a chocolate with a weird filling.

I love chocolate - to eat. But I've never liked chocolate scents.

Alright - I'll keep this Passion in mind for the next double-digit subzero temperatures, it seems quite fitting to me...

This is really an extremely sweet chocolate scent; I can only wear it at home every now and then, and even then just in tiny amounts ;)

I do like those gourmand scents... but when it comes to food, I prefer whole milk and white chocolate (though I'm also up for weird fillings!). Dark chocolate is only okay for me as After Eights or ginger sticks.

Sounds delicious to me.

Nice comment. I feel the scent is quite similar, but only for the first 3-4 hours. What really bothers me, and isn't mentioned in any fragrance pyramid, is the woody base, which consists of some cedar derivative and is quite heavily dosed. After a few hours of wear, all the chocolatey goodness turns pretty bitter and cedar-woodsy on me.

That sounds powerful. Powerfully sweet. As a man, I don't really want to smell like that. I prefer eating chocolate to wearing it on my skin ;)
