Real, authentic Chocolate...

This is one which to me reminds me of pure chocolate powder, a very dark and aromatic mix here. I find it very authentic in it's cacao note. I think this will appeal to people who love chocolate fragrances. I can't say I detect many of the other notes. I have found this is prominent for the first 2 hours on my skin, then dries down rapidly.

This is the first fragrance I've tried from Parfumerie Generale. A gourmand. I'm impressed, but wish this lasted longer. Not sure if I can recommend but I think it would please fans of chocolate greatly.

Patisserie 04

Chocolate is the key-word here - maybe with the addition of a drop of orange flavour. I'm a fan of Pierre Guillame's fragrances, but "Musc Maori" could not convince me. After 10 min, the scent develops into a thin, feeble musky whisper, still being a mixture of chocolate, now with a tofee-note.
Luten's Borneo 1834 is a much better take at a chocolate fragrance ... just to cite a comparison. And why Maori? Where's the connection to New Zealand? I can't detect any. Patisserie 04 would have been a more suitable name for this scent, which I find too monothematic.

fleeting Tootsie Roll

At first, it smells like liquid Tootsie Roll (chocolate & orange & wax). Softens quickly at drydown - hint of something else floral (rose?). 15 min. later, very vanilla. Fades in less than an hour. This is surprising because most perfumes last a long time on me. (051209)

odd but charming

Musc Maori from Pierre Guillaume Paris is another one that I tried a long while ago and wanted to revisit, and it's just as quietly weird as I remember. It's got milky vanilla notes of cumaru wood, which I had to look up just now, and Google tells me that basically, it's where tonka beans come from. It also features appearances by coffee tree blossom and cacao pod. I typically don't love chocolate scents, but this is like a musky, musty, ghostly packet of Swiss Miss. I say ghostly because it's a very transparent scent, and the musk alternates eerily between something etherous in spirit and warm, sweet human skin. This is not the finished cup of hot chocolate but rather the grains of cocoa trembling in the tablespoon before being stirred into the boiling milk. It's an odd but thoroughly charming fragrance.

A graceful gourmand cloud

Musc Maori is a wonderful contrast between the warm notes of a milk chocolate, which in a certain sense refers to sweet childhood memories, and the musky, ethereal, clean ones.
The result is a fine, graceful gourmand (which is really difficult to find in this kind of fragrances) and ethereal, truly wonderfully harmonized.
A delicious cloud of milk chocolate, this is Maori musc.

The beginning is encouraging, but brief, then there is a kind of floor polish + cocoa mass + nuts and so it goes on mercilessly in a swoon

Occasional wafts of a heartbreakingly beautiful quiet floral musk, but I can't get past the waxy chocolate the rest of the time

Nice but after some wears boring - if you appreciate artificial flavour of chocolate in puddings, you may like it more.

Lightly sweet drinking chocolate, into which the Māoris have mixed in plenty of butter along with orange juice. Sprinkled with cocoa powder. Too greasy for me.

I can't help but think of Evelyn Hamann in Pappa ante portas. The praline tasting series: here "so the one with the greasy musk filling, ……I feel nauseous."
