Finally a true unisex frag from Ganache! Not as sweet as I thought it would be as the boozy notes do impact the scent nicely. I am really shocked that they pulled this off. I have only worn it once but projection is above average and longevity is a solid 8 hours. This is the best of the 4 or so that I have tried from the house.

This is really nice. I think it’s best experienced in quick sniffs — sometimes chocolate syrup, sometimes powdery cocoa, sometimes more earthy with a hint of patchouli.
The alcohol notes are interesting. Sometimes they feel a little chemical and give an air freshener vibe, but the cleanness isn’t strong enough to be offputting. It also seems to fade once the first hour is past.
All and all it is a solid chocolate with interesting nuance. The best part was a couple hours in when it melds with your skin and becomes musky — like you suddenly developed the ability to sweat chocolate. I got about 8 hours of wear, so the longevity is OK.

I echo the previous review. I actually read the review even before I tried the sample, but wow I was not expecting that intensity of richness! This is very close in my book to becoming a perfect chocolate scent, but honestly I find the earthy accord in the drydown off-putting. Still, I can only detect that if I smell it up close, so as long as I get only wafts of it it’s not a problem. My only other critique would be that this smells… dry. It’s as is you were made the most incredible chocolate ganache cake in the world but somebody forgot about it and left it out of the fridge for a day or two. It still has the same richness and quality you’d expect from the most magnificent chocolate ganache ever, but it’s not quite the same as having it fresh. Actually, it may have something to do with that overly earthy note again.
Personally, I think this scent would benefit A LOT from a long-lasting mild water accord or something like a juicy tangerine in the background to help it smell less “dry.” Other than that it’s pretty damn awesome. Projection is high, longevity I’m not sure about yet but it’s definitely at least average.
EDIT: I have determined that the earthy note is likely the “moist chocolate brownie” note. The whole composition smells absolutely incredible for 2-3 hours, easily among the elite of chocolate gourmand perfumes. Once the other notes die down, though, the brownie note seems to stop smelling “moist” and starts smelling “dirty.”
FINAL VERDICT: High recommend as long as you don’t stick your nose into it during the drydown.

I just received a lovely sample pack from Ganache Parfums today. (formerly Haught Parfums) Chocolate Lava cake is a rich, decadent, dark chocolate scent with incredible siliage and longevity. I detect something almost earthy in the dry down- similar to a weak patchouili (might be the Gran Marnier). It smells like Chocolate Wasted on steroids. If you love CW- you have to try this!
