Like a light summer version of Mugler's Angel

IL PROFVMO was one of the first niche houses which I tried to find in Italy long time ago. I don’t remember exactly from where I found this house but it was tempting because of affordable prices. That time I wasn’t so much in the niche world - yet. It was very difficult to find those perfumes but I found many many others and the rest is the history.

Until these days I have tried to find some of Il Profvmos to test.

I got “a sample” (the whole bottle) of Chocolat Frais (and Ambre D’Or). Everyone knows Thierry Mugler’s Angel. I used to love it but it was difficult for me to wear it. Chocolat Frais is like diluted version of Angel (not in the bad way). It’s everything which Angel is not: sophisticated, delicate, restrained, subtle and charming. It’s totally the different scent but straight away Angel comes into my mind like those memories as well from the past when Angel was released.

This is a big love for me: all those nostalgic feelings in very wearable concoction.'

Thank you for reading, I hope you liked my review and it was helpful.

I would appreciate if you follow me on my

A Chocolate Experience of a Special Kind

Normally, I am completely into chocolate: dark, white, delicate, bitter, with something in it or pure, in small pieces or large quantities - it doesn't matter.

With Chocolat Frais, however, my desire for chocolate really fades away at the first sniff. Actually, I expect a wonderfully creamy, not too sweet, ice-cold chocolate note, perhaps with a hint of restrained fruit, due to the name. But the dynamic top note of Chocolat Frais is completely different:

It starts for me with a distinct jumble. In terms of fruits, I can already clearly smell the white peach here, maybe with a hint of apple, but above all, and overwhelmingly, the absinthe note. I didn't really know how absinthe smells beforehand, but the note is so front and center loud that it has now been forever etched into my scent memory. However, where the almond blossom is supposed to be in the top note remains a mystery to me. It has probably been assimilated by the absinthe.

Aside from the fact that I find the combination of the fruity elements of white peach and apple together with the green-bitter note of absinthe, as I said, horridly jumbled, far too loud, and unrefined, I am nonetheless immediately fascinated by the clearly recognizable underlying theme that runs through the entire scent development: the dusty, dark, and somewhat grumpy cocoa bean.

The fruit mix of the top note continues into the heart note and is complemented by a distinctly citrusy carambola, which adds a touch of exoticism to the whole fruit salad but unfortunately also comes off a bit sour. And only after all the fruits have slowly settled down after about 30 minutes does the truly beautiful almond blossom finally emerge, blooming softly in the background. It gently dances around the grumpy cocoa bean, takes it by the hand, and tones it down a bit.

The very dry, dusty cocoa note thus slowly recedes a bit into the background, becomes lighter, and in the further course becomes increasingly powdery and powdered due to the heliotrope from the base. The fruits from the beginning also recede, getting dusted with a little cocoa powder, and gradually the base develops a very warm, soft vanilla undertone. The pleasantly light spiciness of the woods rounds everything off nicely.

What remains is a fine hint of white chocolate.

The sticky and exhausting top note of Chocolat Frais reminds me a bit of the monstrous scent mixture that used to waft over from the chocolate factory around the corner in summer when the wind was just right. I had to barricade and nail shut the window every time. Therefore, Chocolat Frais is definitely not a candidate for purchase for me. Nevertheless, I find the development of the underlying theme from a dusty dark cocoa note to a wonderfully elegant white chocolate praline extremely fascinating.

Therefore, I will definitely test Chocolat Frais again in summer when the wind is just right...

Thank God, no Joghurette!

If it had been based on the name, I would never have tested this fragrance. I belong to the group of people who feel nauseous just at the thought of Joghurette, and exactly this association is triggered by Chocolat Frais for me.

In one thing, I have to agree with Aava, the top note is a bit chaotic, but I still like the scent from the very beginning. Surprisingly, I can't smell any apple, which prevents it from becoming too artificially fruity.

Relatively quickly, the fragrance notes settle, and I can discern a hint of absinthe and dry cocoa. The fruits serve as a pleasant counterbalance to the absinthe and cocoa, but I can't identify any individual fruit notes.

Creamy soft and pleasantly sweet, Chocolat Frais then slowly fades away.

Of all the Choco scents I have tested so far, this one is the best!

Miss P. thank you for the Joghurette alternative!

Ata - Girls

I was drawn to the label "Chocolat Frais" like a moth to a flame, as I expected a scent reminiscent of my beloved and frequently enjoyed Moritz chocolate-covered treats.

However, the sharp opening of this fragrance made me pause in confusion.
Something biting dominates my nose - I attribute it to absinthe.
A tangled mess of scents follows, in which I desperately search for the promised chocolate, trying to untangle the chaos.
Shyly and hidden, I discover the pleasant peach and the tart starfruit, but both are kept in check by the strict absinthe.

My husband asks me if I have joined the Ata - Girls, as I clearly smell like cleaning products.
Since I am not at all a cleaning fanatic, we both have to laugh.

The scent has a staying power like a bodyguard who doesn’t take his eyes off you for a second.
The watchful eye becomes somewhat more pleasant when the woods cautiously push to the forefront.
But I could not find the hoped-for and promised chocolate.

Disappointed, as always, when the chocolate cupboard is empty, I turn to other fragrances.

Medical Chocolate

I know, I know. You ladies probably love chocolate above all else, but we guys also enjoy this treat very much when our hands aren't stuck in the bowl of peanuts or something, just because we're drinking liters of beer again :D

However, my title doesn't mean that one could endlessly indulge in chocolate for therapeutic purposes, no,… but rather that the chocolate tastes more medicinal,… or in this case, smells…
Which unfortunately isn't very pleasant!

The Scent:

At the beginning, you smell chocolate, which is quite nice in itself (every time I phrase it this way, you can probably guess my "but!"), but: I'm simply bothered by the overpowering scent of absinthe, if that's what it is, which I perceive as somewhat unpleasantly bitter and medicinal.
The scent is very prominent, almost biting, and in my opinion, it prevents one from truly enjoying all the other, otherwise lovely fragrance notes.
If you try to smell "beside" the absinthe at the sprayed spot (however that should work :D), you can also detect a bit of peach.
Of course, over time the absinthe becomes weaker, but it is almost always distinctly noticeable.
Pomegranate seems to have been clicked several times in the fragrance pyramid, yet somehow I can't smell this otherwise delicious fruit.
In the base, you can now also smell the almonds, which is surely due to the heliotrope. But since the biting absinthe simply doesn't want to dissipate, you can't really enjoy this either, if you, like me, aren't too fond of this scent. Only much later does the absinthe or the disturbing note become weaker (but still present!), allowing you to smell the chocolate scent better. But until then… well…

The Sillage and Longevity:

The projection is mediocre and leaves only a slight scent cloud, if at all. This means you have to get a bit closer to smell it on someone.
The longevity is better, as the scent lasts easily for eight hours or even a bit longer.

The Bottle:

The bottle is rectangular, has a yellowish fragrance liquid, and is topped with a column-like, golden cap. The label on the front has a beautifully decorated frame and looks good as a result. Still, everything is a bit simple, but not bad.

Based on my fragrance description, you have surely figured out that I will not be a fan of this scent. I mean, I love chocolate too; I even considered whether I should get L’Instant de Guerlain pour Homme the EDP, even though I have the EDT, since the EDP simply smells more chocolatey.

But I don't want to digress. Although Chocolat Frais contains chocolate notes, the medicinal, biting absinthe ruins the enjoyment for a longer time, and even in the base, the scent still fails to smell really nice. If the absinthe doesn't bother you, then you can take a look at it. In that case, the scent would be an all-rounder, suitable for any season. And due to the not very high sillage, it is more usable as a daytime fragrance.

I advise everyone else to try other chocolates, um, fragrance-wise of course, but you can also eat chocolate, as there are currently great chocolate Christmas figures he he he

Oh, and the scent doesn't smell spoiled now, but it doesn't smell good either. … um… can chocolate actually spoil quickly? I've never experienced that, except that sometimes it somehow turns "white" :D

The gummy bears have drunk too much absinthe and are now in cuddle mode. I wouldn't have expected something so kitschy-sweet from the brand.

Fruity-floral mix with strong alcoholic notes that almost annoy me. I can hardly detect the promised chocolate.
