Belgian Choco Truffle The Dua Brand

There’s a dual chocolate experience in this scent: the first is a crumbly chocolate biscotti cookie with almonds beside an opened packet of Swiss Miss hot cocoa mix. It also has smells chocolate in the way “Choco Musk” smells if you’ve tried that.

This is likable and a friendly pick up for any fans things like Kayali’s gourmands that avoid smelling starchy. There’s a faint yet present cherry like note at the til that adds to , rather than take away, this scent. That fruity accord is a supporting actress here.

This is decidedly meant for a feminine audience. It’s not a milky or lactonic scent. It’s probably best suited for daytime wear. I wouldn’t reach for this during date nights unless the plan was to canoodle in the couch for a movie marathon. What I’m driving at here this is a laidback perfume. It’s ideal for wearing on fuzzy, soft sweaters or throw blankets to be extra cozy.

I was cautiously hopeful about this scent because I’ve had mixed experiences with Dua as a house. However this is a total win!

If I’m responsible, I’d try this in skin before adding to cart. I don’t know if it’s worth $65 for a 30ml but it’s def worth $33 for a 30ml, so long as it wears well on skin. Gourmand lovers, this one is for you.

The completely unnecessary foil has already been removed.

Gently, you open the box and fully lift the lid, only to suddenly jump up as you realize you forgot to bring the already prepared coffee from the kitchen.

Thirty seconds later, you are back in the living room sitting on your couch, and that time was more than enough.

An intense, very captivating liqueur note greets you, bringing with it a beautiful strong touch of fully ripe plums, and you first indulge in this wonderful scent with your eyes closed.

"Can you see them too - the small light and dark brown, slightly shiny and crunchy-looking pralines?"

Some of the pralines have delicate white lines for decoration, which, upon closer sniffing, exude a subtle powdery almond aura.

"Hands off - you may only take a praline once you have finished reading the comment!"

I can almost hear your O - tone: "That's just outrageous!" :-)

"But I'm a nice one, feel free to take one."

Pop the praline in your mouth and let it linger on your tongue for a moment.

Melting, creamy milk chocolate has united with a very fine dark bittersweet chocolate to create a wonderful explosion of flavor.

The famous crack can be heard and even felt, and pure euphoria spreads.

The praline is filled! :-)

A fine thick core of sweet and subtly buttery - salty caramel flows through your taste buds.

"A true delight, isn't it?!"

Finally, in the last 3 hours, what remains is a fine, lovely - creamy, fluffy Bourbon - vanilla and a very delicate hint of Belgian chocolate, and you repeatedly find yourself incredulously stating:

"The package is always empty way too quickly."

May I introduce: Belgian Choco Truffle.

Overall, the scent lasts 8 hours on my skin.

The sillage is designed from the start to be clearly noticeable at arm's length, and this is maintained for 3.5 hours before it gradually diminishes until the scent finally fades completely.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to our perfumer "Cocinera" for the sample.

Truffles… another thing that always confused me, especially in the past. Truffles are fungi that are not consumed in large quantities like mushrooms, but serve more as spices, which is probably also due to their exorbitant prices. Back then, many years ago, I didn’t really know what truffles were and read a little about them. And as it often goes, while reading about these fungi or watching documentaries, I picked up some information, such as how to best search for truffles (with truffle pigs), that truffles are worth their weight in gold, and that supposedly truffles act like a pheromone for ladies…

What always confused me, though, was that there are also chocolates called truffles. Today I know that they are called truffles simply because they resemble the fungal truffles in appearance. Not because, as I once thought, the chocolates contained actual truffles. So, many years ago, I asked a good friend if that was the case,… and even though I’m not so sure anymore (or don’t remember correctly), I think she said yes, that the chocolates contained real truffles. But not because she was also ignorant, but because she liked to mess with me from time to time, and sometimes she succeeded quite well!! In the past, she even convinced me to completely mispronounce certain terms (I’m a foreigner here…) like musk or something… (I thought you pronounced it with a long “o”, as if saying Moohskus or something similar…)!

Sometimes she even does cruel things, like sneaking fish eyes into MY FOOD during our meals, and sometimes she succeeds, yuck how disgusting! (Thank goodness I noticed in time because she had betrayed herself, as she was staring at me while I was eating to see how I would react… and that made me suspicious :D)
When I think about it, she really is quite mean!!! I need to come up with some nasty things myself… :DD

But back to the Belgian truffles, which don’t contain any real truffles (mu ha ha, I know that now!) and therefore couldn’t be found with pigs :D
But the idea that truffle chocolate grows in the woods and can be found with pigs is somehow wonderful! :D

Hmm, it immediately smells (and by the way, extremely intense) like chocolates. Yes, not milk chocolate or anything, but really like filled chocolates, with the filling coming across as a bit fruity and liqueur-like. Vanilla is also quite abundant, which makes the scent not only very sweet but also very soft and powdery. The caramel takes a little while to come through, but then it becomes noticeable, although it doesn’t last long.
So the scent remains mostly, although the fruity aspect of the “filling” fades a bit, and later it just smells like chocolate (then also like “normal” chocolate) and vanilla. The entire late base is, as usual, just vanilla-powdery, which is of course quite nice.

The sillage is very strong. At first, it’s almost enveloping, but over time the projection naturally diminishes a bit, yet it remains at a very high level for a long time, so that the scent can be immediately perceived by someone nearby.
The scent lasts and lasts and lasts. At least twelve hours are definitely in the cards!

Yes, the bottle may be of high quality, but I’ve never particularly liked the bottles from Dua, at least not in terms of shape, as they seem a bit too utilitarian to me, even if some scents have a really great label on them. This one, by the way, has a black label with the name of the scent as well as the brand name. The Arabic symbol is probably the logo of this brand.

Hmm, Belgian Choco Truffle is once again one of those scents that makes your mouth water so much that you hardly dare to open your mouth, lest you drool endlessly :D

In any case, the scent smells absolutely fantastic, but of course, one might wonder if one wants to smell so much like chocolate, although a (of course, once again, a very, VERY delicious,… um, I meant pretty) saleswoman once said in a conversation about chocolate scents that chocolate fragrances ALWAYS work :)

So I assume that this type of scent could be especially great for going out, although probably more in autumn and winter, as the sweetness might be a bit overwhelming in too hot weather.

If you’re into chocolate, pralines, and generally such “things,” you should definitely take a look at this scent here. Or even if you just want to smell very, VERY delicious! :D

hey Baby now and here,
hey Baby this night
is made for us

Is THIS delicious. It's like jumping from a 5-meter diving board into a bath of dark chocolate, where thick, freshly cut, fully ripe plum halves are floating. Delicious... a poem. It smells almost 100% like real dark chocolate, creamy, calorie-laden, with a strong splash of plum liqueur. You can't say it more clearly, almost identical, and as a crowning touch, because it still doesn't quite satisfy the nose synapses, a strong splash of liquid caramel is added to the chocolate bath and stirred slowly. Goodness, this is tasty.
Personally, I wouldn't want to smell like this all the time - at least not all day - but as a mood enhancer or chocolate substitute without having to pay the price, Belgian Choco Truffle is PERFECT!

I like subtle gourmand fragrances in my collection, as they provide a nice balance to the harsh floral chypres, woody amber scents, or the aquatic citrus freshness.
Enjoyment without guilt and calories, although the battle against the latter shouldn't dictate our lives, as life is simply too short!

When I look at my bottle, I must have caught a subspecies of Choco Truffle, as mine has the addition ZEST. So, BELGIAN CHOCO ZEST TRUFFLE.
New? That seems to be the case.

We all know that many vitamins are found in spinach and broccoli, but dark chocolate (with a higher cocoa content) also contains important polyphenols and flavonoids, as well as stress-relieving catechins. The cocoa bean is, so to speak, a true fountain of health for metabolism, circulation, and well-being. It's like everything in life: enjoyed in moderation (not to be confused with mass), chocolate simply does us good! A happiness booster.

Belgian Choco Zest Truffle starts fresh and orangey (for a moment I briefly thought of Aventus), with mandarin and orange zests piling up on the plate. The fruits themselves lie beneath in their own juice, forming a liqueur-like liquid. I can detect a hint of plum hidden in there. Roasted almonds in a vanilla coating come in now, but not sweet, rather subtly restrained. And then the appearance of the bitter cocoa begins, first quietly and then growing louder, merging with vanilla and almond to create a dark praline note with a high orange content that remains until the end.

I can't detect any overly pronounced sweetness here, but rather an attempted connection of zesty fruitiness with dark cocoa. I don't smell caramel. This gourmand is not a scent for every day or for the office, but rather an olfactory comforter for cuddling needs and when it's cold (both inside and out).

Next to me lies a bar of Ritter Sport with a higher cocoa content (40%). A treasure of gold.
I can only recommend it.

One more piece goes down, and I enjoy it melting delicately - hmmmm. Delicious!
(How many there will be today, I cannot predict)
;-)
Have you had your chocolate fix today?.....
