Gorgeous, but not for me
This is the scent which confirmed that I am simply not a gourmand girlie. Because it is beautiful, and it works well for my skin chemistry, but it's just not me. But if I could be swayed to the gourmand, this really would be the scent that would do it.
I first smelled this scent on a lady as I walked past the bus stop, which should give you an idea of the projection because I was not particularly close to her. I was really struck by the fact that it smelled like delicious chocolate but better, without being sweet, cloying, or overpowering. I think the violet cuts through what would otherwise be an overpowering photorealistic chocolate scent.
I managed to track it down through some internet sleuthing, and I knew as soon as I smelled the sample that I had it right. I adore chocolate, not necessarily as a scent but as a snack. And this smells rich and decadent. There's a bit of hazelnut to this as well, adding to the richness but giving a little bit of greenness too. And then the violet helps lift and freshen the scent.
Overall, I think it's stunning. I'm not sure if this is a gourmand for gourmand lovers - I think Mancera's Coco Vanille might be better suited for that. But if you're interested in a really deep, gorgeous chocolate note without straying into sweet/vanilla territory this is definitely worth a sample.
