There’s some parallels with sweet, juicy and fresh citrusy Franck Boclet Vanille, Xerjoff Lira, Jerobam Insulo and Van Cleef&Arpel Orchidee Vanille. They all are sweet and juicy, but Al Contrario is fantastic because of prominent real cocoa note that makes it warm and soft.

Reminds me of Montale Chocolate Greedy and Comptoir Sud Pacifique Amour de Cacao. It has a similiar vibe like these two but with a different character than them. It is not as strong as Chocolate Greedy but also not as weak as Amour de Cacao. It’s definitely gourmand but sliiiightly less gourmandy than the other 2 (which are indistinguishable from real food btw) thanks to the orchid and maybe ebony wood and sandalwood. It’s also got less cacao and additionally more of a sugarcube smell.
If you’re a gourmand lover and loved the other 2 I’ve mentioned but never had the courage to make all the rooms you’ve visited smell like chocolate cake then this might be the perfect thing for you. This is definitely more wearable because 1. it’s not as strong as Chocolate Greedy and 2. it’s got very few non-gourmandy elements and that makes you smell less like you’ve just baked a cake. It’s slightly more wearable but it might still be too much of a gourmand to wear for many people.

This reminds me of Dame’s Mexican Vanilla with less projection. Very nice scent. I like both but prefer Mexican Vanilla because of its projection and longevity.

Muy rico! I cannot believe this hasn’t gotten more love from all the gourmand junkies. It’s DELICIOUS, chocolaty and so natural smelling. It’s not sickly sweet but it’s still very rich! Yum! ♡

OMG!This is amazing fragrance which has completeness, noble sexuality and royal sweetness. Paolo Terenzi is genius.
No synthetic at all!

Sprays on with a porter-like malty, hazelnut accord. As it dries, the orchid comes to the forefront accompanied by a waxy but thin, overly sugared chocolate note. The orchid withers throughout the life of the fragrance until you’re left with a slightly malty/nutty, waxy chocolate base. Has that “carnival” type of vibe that I get from some L’artisans like Dzing and Amour Nocturne. The gourmand take on orchid draws parallels particularly to Amour Nocturne. Longevity is above average and I get 4-5 hours of self sillage.
3+/5, “Good”.
Note: A “+” is not equivalent to a 0.5. I use the + ratings organically where I feel a particular whole number would not best summarize a category. Call it a “je ne sais quoi” counter.
