Chocolate Queen Navitus Parfums 2022 Extrait de Parfum

First wearing of the latest release from Navitus Parfums, Chocolate Queen, curated by Gabby Loves Perfumes, an indulgent gourmand blend featuring a fairly diverse list of gourmand notes, but for me involves primarily dulce de leche, irish cream, and almond, much more so than vanilla or chocolate. There’s something slightly sharp involved in the mix, but overall it still is smoother than it is sharp/powdery, and with a good blend of the notes. There’s even a slightly floral/powdery quality to it, though no such notes are listed.

I think this is an easy winner for gourmand lovers—not among my favorite gourmands in the house but still quite good and worth sampling for all, so I’d recommend that especially fans of sweet fragrances get their nose on it. Its pricing is the same as the rest of the line’s recent releases, at $145 for 100ml.
