Inspired by Gourmand Coquin & Fève Gourmande
As a fan of chocolate scents, I was totally happy to have received a decant of this fragrance as a gift.
Apparently, this is an alternative to Gourmand Coquin and Fève Gourmande.

The scent starts off super alcoholic.
If you don't like the smell of rum, you definitely won't enjoy the opening.
Because the rum here is very realistic and extremely prominent, but at the same time, you can smell a dark chocolate that also smells super realistic.
Rose and pepper are completely overshadowed; I can't even perceive them with a lot of imagination.

In the dry down, the rum doesn't hit the nose as much, and it becomes a bit more chocolatey.
To describe it perfectly, I would say "Dark Chocolate, Rum, and Vanilla | The Dua Brand / Dua Fragrances" smells exactly like rum balls.
Very realistic, probably too edible for many to wear, but I absolutely love that kind of thing.

There's nothing to complain about regarding performance.
Sillage and longevity are top-notch, but it's not a beast.
Still, with a few sprays, you'll be noticed for a long time.

Although it's supposed to be a women's fragrance, I would still say it smells unisex to me.

Unfortunately, it's very hard to get.
I would only recommend it to people who love super realistic rum and chocolate in perfumes.
I personally just find it nice.

Dark, juicy chocolate lava cake meets a splash of rum & spice - vanilla paves the way. My chocolate heart screams
YES I DO

It's really well done. But it's not comparable to Gourmand Coquin, which is much softer and more pleasing. This chocolate here ...

Dark, sweet rum balls just waiting to be devoured. Sour + too edible for me. No comparison to the sophistication of GC. But it lasts like crazy.

In my comparison, it doesn't stand up to GC.
Very ambitious and lasts great, but is that what you want?
Too artificial... like dark cheap chocolate.

A truly dreamy alternative to "Les Élixirs Charnels - Gourmand Coquin | Guerlain", I'm thrilled. Cozy times a thousand!

A must-have for chocolate fans.
It really hits the nose... a bit too much for me!

Marble cake with a thick dark chocolate crust and juicy inside with lots of rum flavor. Definitely NOT a dupe! 100% edible.

Milk chocolate in rum cream pudding :-(
(the milk was already bad and could only be used this way)

Sweet, gourmand, you can really smell the dark chocolate. H/S good. I don't think it's bad, but it's not particularly good either.

Once you get past the first half hour of loud, artificial chocolate, it does smell somewhat like GC.
But GC is more high-quality, refined.
