(A review originally posted on MakeupAlley in 2006, I wanted to re-post it here now because I do not use MakeupAlley anymore [but have many fond memories of using it] and I am trying to get back into writing reviews, using old ‘work’ as inspiration…): Simply, and apologies for a review lacking in content, but this is a holy grail for me…cacao and jasmine (neroli?)…BEAUTIFUL and complex, fbw for sure, price not withstanding. I really like Mandy Aftel’s style, somehow “US American”, very particular, refined, evocative…this for me is a sort of tropical chocolate mmmmm Amazing…..wearable and doesn’t make me “hungry” in a negative way the way some cheaper chocolate scented candles do, this is a Perfume. More later….thank you Mandy!

Orange/grapefruit/blood orange hybrid citrus note on the opening, then it slowly transforms into a Terry’s Chocolate Orange scent. I’d probably like this except for the bubble gum note that clouds the composition. Perhaps this is because it’s a natural perfume? Palimpsest was my first foray into Aftelier and it had that same powdery sweet lack of clarity.

This is one of the best chocolate scents I’ve ever smelled, and as a gourmand lover, I own quite a few! It opens like a warm glass of Grand Marnier – with a bright orange note over a boozy chocolate. It quickly dries down into a just lightly indolic jasmine over a warm melted chocolate orange ball. This is like Heaven in a bottle.

I’m sure there’s someone on whom this is tolerable, but it’s not me, and I know many other perfumistas who dislike this. Read the reviews on MUA before buying this. The jasmine note is so strong and indolic, the overall effect of this perfume is a fecal. When I first tried it, I thought it was a joke perfume. I’m not kidding. Do not buy unsniffed!

Very good deep chocolate and citrus highlight with a little jasmine (it is slightly dirty which I like, adds interest factor to straight forward gourmand). I had same thoughts as review from robinadair below. This is a bit more gourmand and feminine than I thought might be, have a 6mL avail if interested. Longevity is pretty good!

216) Orangette
Confit de pelure d’orange (sanguine) enrobé de chocolat noir (mais cette note de chocolat est presque inexistante).
Miam!
Ce parfum est principallement de type fruité, avec l’acidité du pamplemousse et du jasmin frais très présent. Le chocolat et la vanille apporte juste une touche comestible mais sont peu perceptibles.

I ordered a sample of this, and I’m not sure if it’s my chemistry or what but this smells like dog poop on my skin ( and I’m not joking ), I even let others smell this on me over and over again, and everyone else agreed it’s the smell of DOG POOP. Even out of the decant it smells terrible. When I first put it on and sat in my car both me and my husband were just sitting there and kind of looking at each other, then one of us said, do you smell this? I smell poop where is this coming from, well it was coming from my arm, the fresh smell of dog poop.
Definitely try this first before buying, cause I was totally going to buy a full bottle before trying and I am so glad I didn’t.

This is by far and away the best aroma I have ever smelled. I was in a chocolate shop when I first smelled this product and I actually swooned. I could bath in it if it wasn’t so expensive. I got a bottle for Valentines Day, a teeny tiny bottle that I only unscrew the top on and smell it. The scent does not last on my skin but I could smell the bottle all day. It is addicting!!!
