Chocolate for Warm Cocoa Lovers
The first thing you can say about this perfume is that it is truly niche. Something like this would never be designer or mainstream. The second thing you can say is that it is really, really gourmand. It truly smells like a cup of hot, creamy vanilla and milk chocolate. And the third thing you can say - it smells so, so delicious!
Creamy, silky, milky chocolate with a strong vanilla note, this scent is for when you need a warm hug, perhaps on a cold autumn day or maybe just when you want to have fun with fragrances. It’s a sweater kind of scent.
For me, it doesn’t just smell like hot cocoa, but when we were kids, we had those lip balms with flavors (for children), with flavors like cherry, strawberry, cola, and so on. This one here smells like one of those, but with a chocolate flavor. It totally reminds me of that.
The sillage is above average for me, and the longevity is very, very good. But you really have to be in the mood to wear this perfume because it is so milky chocolatey, gourmand. I can’t imagine smelling like vanilla chocolate every day, but if that’s your thing, go for it - the scent is really beautiful.
The price-performance ratio is absolutely fantastic, making it a must-have collectible perfume or the perfect perfume for gourmand lovers. The scent is quite simple, linear, easy to like, and not like the very special, very complex, very "adult" niche fragrances.
I believe it suits younger and also older people, ladies and gentlemen.
I would wear it year-round, but in the summer, maybe only in the evenings.
A joy of a perfume, absolutely recommendable if you love gourmand perfumes.
Flowers! And vanilla. How can you go wrong with this scent?
I love this perfume. Yes, it's it's simple, almost uncomplicated as an overall scent profile, yes its been overdone, but it's so flawless and fun and perfect! It's not really a "flowerbomb" per se, just an elegant, daytime, lighthearted floral with your almost standard musk, vanilla and patchouli base but it smells soo delicious! The dry- down is gorgeous as the vanilla in it is beautiful, warm and just right, and since the dry-down contains the whisper of all those florals that came before, I can't get enough of it, I keep smelling my wrist when I wear it in this phase.
It's an easy reach, an easy grab-and-spray that you don't have to think too much about if you want to have a touch of light, flowery, fun elegance to your day. It's sweet but not too sweet. Think going out for tea with your friends in a tea-café or simply a light spray before going to the office. The flowers blend well, there is almost a screechy note going on but not quite.
Suitable for most people of most ages, you have to be into floral vanilla combinations to like this. This is for a lighthearted person who doesn't take themselves too seriously. It's also fit mostly for spring and summer. Winter would be a bit weird, but I think you could pull it off if you really wanted to.
Longevity is great, silage is great too.
The bottle is supposed to mimic a grenade which I think is a cool play on the name, although it's not a bomb per say as I said - the color of the bottle says it all.
All in all a great purchase if you sniff it and like it. I don't think you'll regret it.
A green, green freshie for the organic, natural girl
Do you like green noted perfumes? If yes, this could be an interesting addition to your perfume arsenal. Not at all sweet, but somehow still airy and feminine, with this perfume Chloe set out to make a perfume out of 100% natural ingredients derived directly from nature. No synthethics.
As your scent options therefore are limited in this situation, what resulted is a very green, very light scent. The projection isn't large and neither is the longevity, so you would need to overspray. The perfume is so green its a bit sharp in its green-ness, but not screechy.
Its a fun experiment in perfumery, and once you know the story behind the scent, the smell of it makes sense. But you've got to be into green notes to like this, because its almost all green, with a very light, ozonic touch and just very light overall, with a sharp, dare I say, almost bitter note. It opens on a greenish citrus note, that fades quite quickly. I personally don't get much of the rose in it, neither the mimosa or neroli. What I mostly get is that citron, blackcurrant and cedarwood accord.
It's not my personal favourite, but I can see it fit for the minimalistic, organic, sustainable lifestyle oriented person who likes to wear whites and linens. Suitable for all ages maybe except teens. Definitely a daytime scent, it's and easy grab-and-spray that you don't have to think too much about, suitable for free time, picnics, walks on the beach, you know, fresh things. Could maybe even be fit for a nurse as a subtle, clean green scent. Did I say green a lot? I think you get the idea. :)
If you love a vanilla with caramelized sugar
This perfume is so beautiful in its simplicity. It is really just a beautiful, simple vanilla key note, with a kick of caramelized sugar on the side. And almost as if to remind you that this is still a perfume and not a gorgeous snack, there lingers a beautiful jasmine in the overtones of the scent, a slight hint that this is a created scent from a bottle.
The notes rests on a warm, cozy, complimentary tonka bean, and are grounded by a soft whisper of musk, and an beautiful amber and patchouli accord. Of course, you got to be into gourmands and be into a simple vanilla to like this. As a minimalist, I adore this scent.
The journey of it is fairly linear but gorgeous, simple and edible. Yum!
I only wish it would be a little bit stronger, and maybe bring the caramelized sugar note up one small notch, as it makes the scent so unique and a strong contender on the market.
If you're into beautiful gourmands, this is it. It is not too sweet and I think it works for all times of the year. Not office appropriate maybe, but for when you're looking to relax with friends, around the house or be fun on errands, with a bit of an upbeat mood.You could also litteraly wear this to bed. I think it could fit most ages if you're edgy like that.
The longevity is just okay for me, it goes a bit weak a bit fast, but that can be remedied by a bit of coconut oil or a cream layer base. I can't comment yet on silage, but my boyfriend loves it when I wear this, and if you're looking for a more intimate vanilla scent profile, then this might be for you. Huda Beauty did a great job with this one, I am so glad they didn't stop before 28. I just wish it was a bit stronger, projected a bit more, and lasted a bit longer due to its price point, as it's such a unique, minimalistic, uncomplicated, straight forward, lighthearted vanilla caramel delight.
Okei gourmand lovers, this is something for you
A delicious, beautiful, nutty fragrance with a hint of an almost bitter note in the pistachio for a bit of a kick, this sweet vanilla, tonkabean cashmere sweater of a perfume could be a staple of yours and even a signature scent if you love gourmands.
Dominique Ropion has done it again, one of the worlds best, most celebrated perfumers release yet another vanilla gourmand heaven. The lasting power is impeccable for your buck, so is the silage, you'll have a lot of fun with how strong this fragrance is with just a few sprays and for a middle- of-the road perfume in terms of price point. BUT... you have to love nutty, warm scents and you have to like sweet perfumes. If not, this is not for you.
There is also a beautiful pear and orange blossom accord in the opening, making it likeable, a touch more elegant and fit for office if you're gentle on the sprays. It's really fun, upbeat and uplifting and the drydown is additcive, warm and cozy and vanilla-y, with almond, cashmere and lactonic notes as a base. If you want a strong fragrance that makes a statement, this is for you. Not a summer scent though, as I think the sweetness of it can get too cloying in the heat, but perfect for spring, fall and winter. I think it is fit for a younger leaning woman, anything between 17-37 or maybe even older if you love it and can pull the sweetness of. I love it and can't be without it. It was even once my signature scent. Thank you Dominique, this one is so much gourmandy fun!
