Rich Blend - White Chocola Richard Maison de Parfum 2020

This fragrance is unbelievably beautiful; I can't describe it any other way. It radiates a silky elegance and is sweet and creamy. After the first spray, it smelled fresh-sweet and incredibly punchy, then I couldn't perceive it for two minutes because it was so intense. After about 5 minutes, a scent combination emerges that fits the name "White Chocola" very well, because that's exactly how it smells. The bright and fruity notes recede, allowing the combination of soft musk and vanilla to come through. The scent then reminds me a lot of a sweetness that lingers in the air while baking, evoking the taste of white chocolate (since it doesn’t smell that extreme). If you get close to the part of the body or clothing, you can still perceive the individual components of sweet, woody, and fruity separately, which makes the fragrance even more interesting.

The sillage is okay, not too intrusive. Others can smell the fragrance lightly when I walk by or when they sit next to me. I myself have the scent in my nose all day; I used two sprays (mind you, from a decant; with the bottle, maybe even one would suffice).

I would describe the longevity as above average compared to an average fragrance, which lasts about 1.5 days. On clothes, the longevity increases significantly.

The fragrance is special not only because of its exclusivity but also because it has a balanced, rounded sound profile (musically speaking). In my eyes, White Chocola stands out from the average scents of well-known brands, but not in a way that is provocative or quirky. I can distinguish the mentioned notes when I get close, but overall, none stands out unpleasantly. I think the scent could appeal to many people who enjoy sweet gourmands.
