Amazing gourmand! I sprayed my arm with no expectations while trying some other perfumes, and I spent the whole evening getting surprised again and again by the delicious whiffs that kept coming to my nose.

A solid like. Its performance is a little disheartening as it becomes a skin scent rather quickly. On me its a coco coffee scent with nuances of other things. The patchouli was strong in the beginning for me with the chocolate. I think it be great in the late fall/early winter.

Chromatic’s description of the opening was exact for me- coffee/chocolate shaving cream. It’s quite masculine and kind of generic smelling. To the point that I was immediately put off the fragrance and tossed the sample vial straight into the swap pile.
However, the scent progression is long and it bends towards a perfect spicy chocolate drydown that seems to go on forever. It winds up in a place that’s very similar to Mershaz’s Spiced Cocoa but takes too long getting there.

A floral chocolate. Not a combination I think works well together.

In Pasion Choco, the dark chocolate + lime blossom may be unique in all of perfumery. I get mostly the dark chocolate, the lime blossom, vanilla, coffee, and benzoin. Also faint hints of cinnamon-coconut-leather not listed in the notes. A delicious fragrance, for sure, and a “must” for chocolate lovers!

I immediately get authentic sweet coffee x milky chocolate mixed with lime x grapefruit x passionfruit. Kind of smells “sticky” the first 2 minutes, and then it gets veeery smooth. Smells like a high quality milky chocolaty praline to me.
For everyone worried about that the fruity notes might be too strong: They’re not. They’re present but not in a disturbing or sour way. Blended in very well. The base is a mix of (benzoin x) vanila x patchouli x musk – it’s very soothing and warm. The orchid and coriander are detectable too. I get a veeery light marzipan vibe.
Imagine this scent as a very authentic Belgian or Swiss praline.
Overall the ingredients are quality stuff. It’s definitely gourmand (but not pure gourmand like montale chocolate greedy for example) and perfectly unisex, maybe even rather masculine. Perfect for cuddle sessions and dates in fall/winter.
For me slightly better than a just a simple like. Definitely unique and good.

Absolute yummy gourmand scent with an intoxicating dry down. Perfect for a date in a winter evening. If there is such thing as a panty dropper that could be it. 🙂 Thumbs up!

While using a small sample from a vial I noticed:
On skin: grapefruit and passionfruit in the opening with chocolate already dominating the head. Then the top notes fade, I hardly smell the middle notes at all, if anything, it does get a bit floral before their place is taken by vanilla. Lasted about 6.5 hours.
On clothing: There’s not as much progression. It stays about the same composition for as long as you are wearing the clothing you sprayed it on. I get mainly dark chocolate supported by vanilla, orchid, benzoin and patchouli with the fruits only adding a slight bite to the mix.

Pasión Choco opens up sweet, sour and spicy. A gourmand lover’s dream. A bright passion fruit springs forward, backed up by coffee. As strange as this pairing may sound, it’s so masterfully blended, you don’t notice anything out of place in it. Don’t think of it as coffee with passion fruit, but rather as a glorious passion fruit, grounded by the slightest touch of coffee. This idea of contrasting notes yielding smooth harmonious results, applies to the entire composition.
As it warms up on the skin, the fragrance loses some of the playful passion fruit, turning darker and sweeter and I get the first whiff of chocolate. The finest, most complex chocolate note imaginable. There’s so much going on underneath this chocolate… Warm vanilla, spicy coriander, uplifting lime and a very refined orchid, balance out this beautifully complex composition that never gets too edible or too perfumey. So, while full of contrasts, as stated bellow, it’s also an ode to harmony. The end result is a seamless blend of very different notes, each one supporting the next, while adding depth and dimension to the whole.

Playful perfume,gourmand and beautiful!! Opens with notes of passion fruit and coffee… in the drydown is a sweet/oriental delicious. And eccentric with a dark /sweet background that makes it unique and powerful at the same time. Fragrance full of contrasts, last long and the sillage is heavy. Very beautiful!
Sillage: 9/10
Longevity: 8.5/10
Scent: 8.5/10

I’m afraid that I have grown quite addicted to my samples of Pasion Choco and will probably have to buy the full bottle.
The path to purchase was not easy, however. I ordered a sample one night without paying any attention to the notes other than “choco” and expected a chocolate-passion scent (i. e. heavy on the cacao) and instead was greeted with what to me smelled like a coffee/dark chocolate shaving cream.
This opening struck me as masculine and also sticky. The combination wasn’t appealing. Over some weeks I tried Pasion Choco again, this time with the understanding that there were significant fruity notes at play alongside what I came to appreciate as a vanilla-coffee note, given a zest from grapefruit and that sticky pulpiness from the passion fruit. I hadn’t been able to get my head around it because I don’t associate fruit with coffee; it reminded me of a gourmet chocolate that just missed the mark, or something a barista might make given too creative rein in a contest to concoct a coffee-shop’s next big craze.
And then, rather than continuing along this misguided path, Choco Pasion began to warm up on my skin and turn into a lovely vanilla/coffee musk with a trifling bit of patchouli and some remnant fruitiness to keep it from being drydown-boring. Suddenly I was swooning over the stuff and then came the idea that I might want to purchase the bottle (it is “on the list,” moved recently to very near the top, into a spot formerly occupied by a cola scent).
This perfume (it is an extrait) is gloriously simple and fairly conniving in the way it pulls you into its heady and sweet embrace while revealing not too much, perhaps an orchid note here or there, or a slight herbal that keeps it from being a sweet, feminine gourmand. Oddly, it does still remind me of a shaving cream, which probably is the coriander note shaking up a revelatory bitterness to the coffee, but I don’t care. I’m madly in love with it and best of all, it smells like nothing else in my embarrassingly large and frequently redundant perfume wardrobe. I think I might even get away with wearing it in the summer, even though it has the heft of a warm winter scent wrapped around it.

Very beautiful scent indeed. 100% unisex as well. The best fruity/gourmand out there. Lasts 10+ and projects 5-6 on my skin. Truly a gem.
EL_kin_1 – :
I am quite surprised by these negtive reviews.On me this is gorgeous..may be a question of skin chemistry, but I find this super elegant, exotic and feminine.Very different from what I’ve tested.I love gourmands, and this is for sure a gourmand scent.I get every single note,with excellent longivity and sillage.
Like a love embrace, tender and passionate.Unique.Just lovely!

Nooo,, If Pasion-choco removed the passion fruit, it may have been one of the Best ever scents.
The opening as such with the fruit becomes a little too ‘standardised’ or even ‘mainstream’.
The passion fruit is not a freshy-genre one; the would-be fresh-sparkling exotic fruit comes off as a smooth, ‘dusty dessert’ type with vibes of orange that give it it’s ‘designery-ness’.
As such, orange accord being so domineering, it creates that familiar ‘cloud’ although here it’s much smoother and a bit creamy.
It’s certainly not that sweet, there’s no vanilla party here, just a discreet sweetness and softness.
I virtually cannot detect any coffee; certainly would not be able to list the note if I blind-tried it.
So, that’s not good.
Worse thing is that from both the stopper and after 10 minutes by application, I still didn’t the notes that I was looking for; namely the grapefruit, cocoa and benzion.
If you’re after deep-rich cocoa and intoxicating syrupy benzoin, forget it.
And to compound it, for an rare and sought after extrait version, this is awful; it barely projects beyond my fingers!
I love many things Turkish but unfortunately, my 1st foray into their 1st Niche House is a huge disappointment.
I can say, that their exquisite blending does save it a point or 2 from utter humiliation, which pains me but I feel better being honest.
My rating: 3/10.
Scent quality: 7/10.

Gourmand delicato, delizioso.
Una spolverata di cacao in polvere su pan di Spagna.
E’ esattamente lo stesso profumo della torta diplomatica al cioccolato con qualche goccina di liquore.
Il profumo utilizzato dalla Binoche per conquistare Johnny Depp nel film Chocolat…?
Una bella fragranza per chi ama il genere zuccheroso con misura.
Non il mio genere.
karepelli – :
This stuff right here is full of vibrant character. Vanilla, chocolate, passion fruit, and coffee arethe main stars here and boy do they all shine!
Projection is beeeeaast mooooode! And last all freakin day id say 12hrs easy. The house of Nishane exploring continues as this house keeps me intrigued.
This kind of puts me in the mind of givenchy pi done in a niche version without the synthetic smell.
Overall 7.6/10
