This was my first Al-Rehab and I've also tried Soft ( smells like a powdery, lemon-scented cleaner) and I'm just ready to give up on this perfume house altogether. Though it's not a satisfying chocolate scent for me, I still use it occasionally for layering under more complex scents. I don’t pick up on any of the chocolate notes, just straight vanilla extract, so if you want something more chocolaty and lasts longer, go for the oil. I literally only smell cocoa powder and musk in this so the name is fitting, but not all the notes listed on fragrantica.

The smell reminds me of a Hershey's chocolate lip balm my mom got from the dollar tree when I was a kid.Not certain I like this enough to purchase it again though since there are a lot of similar scents that are longer lasting, but I'll definitely be finishing my current bottle. When I sniff my skin up close, I can detect a subtle hint of spices, and what smells like the tiniest hint of cocoa butter lotion (which might be a great thing to layer with this -- it feels like they would blend well together). If you don’t want to be overly sweet at the start, i layer mine with my bath and body works in the stars because both have notes of musk and in the stars balances the sweetness of choco musk with added earthy scents.

You can layer with a true gourmande, or layer with something non-gourmande and it will contribute as a warm, sweet and comfortable base.

It's a skin scent on me the entire time, but I'll get a whiff of it every now and then and find it pretty comforting. Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places. I have the spray not the rollerball and I feel like this is actually a beautiful gourmand but isn’t too strong or cloying. i'm letting it sit for a bit because some people said that it'd smell better like that so yeah i hope.

This eau de parfum comes in a gorgeous glass bottle with a transparent glass lid and is packed in a neat box.

And, I thought it was a perfect opportunity to finally try some Arab perfumes as I've heard nothing but amazing things about them. A reaction or irritation to fragrance oils is very rare; however please take the necessary precautions . I wish I was one of those people who got Cocoa Puffs, or cocoa butter or cocoa powder but I just don’t.
