I was on a roll till this one.
I wanted an awesome Chocolate scent to beat Alyson Oldoni Choc Man Mint.
This was very disappointing because:
1)The notes have I believe little to do with the make up as per 2)
2) I get a tiny amount of chocolate or cacao which smells more like (as is common I understand as a base in this type of scent) Patchouli and some florals to create the effect – I didn’t get any vanilla!
3)The price
4)Performance was somewhat OK
In a nut shell – it didn’t perform as marketed. I’ll save some more money for Choc Man Mint!

I agree cocolover56 ! it’s less exepensive than Angel, so if you love Angel but can’t afford it, you can buy this. Also, it is more natural (Les senteurs gourmandes only produces natural perfumes, without toxicity).

This essentially is Angel. I was FLOORED when I tried it on from a decant swap package. I instantly fell in love. I may need to buy this, as I can’t afford Mugler’s Angel atm.
Lasts EONS.

I might get a hint of tobacco but nothing more, and as to comparisons to Angel, I thought that one was sweeter than this one. In any case, this is what I had hoped Patchouli Intense by Molinard would be like, but that one had some sort of near nauseating note clash for me. I would like the chocolate note to be stronger here, but it is a nice scent, in terms of what I’m seeking. It may be better for layering than wearing by itself, and I might use it for a swap if I can get something I’d much rather have, but I don’t mind keeping the bottle either. The company’s Tendre Madeleine is a more interesting composition, whereas this one is rather simple. Strength is good but it’s not as strong as I thought it might be.
UPDATE: After a couple hours, at most, it really came together, though still not much tobacco. I’m definitely going to keep it now, for at least a second wearing, and use more than one spray.

There is an Angel flanker ‘the taste of fragrance’, with cocoa powder thrown into the mix and it smells exactly like a chocolate liquor, you know, the bitter bitter dark chocolate? It’s a remarkable fragrance but not one that I want to wear,
Owning 2 of the Laurence Dumont perfumes, ( Tendre Madeleine and Violet Vanille) I’m aware of the great value for money with this line but what really got my interest, was the honey and tobacco notes in it. I’m a sucker for tobacco scents. Interesting to see that no-one has likened this to Tobacco Vanille by Tom Ford ( not many people GET the tobacco note)
I’m sitting here with a sealed bottle,….
The unboxing and revelations, to come….. shortly…..
As for the House of Laurence Dumont (also sold under Les Senteurs gourmandes brand)
I’m thoroughly impressed with its dirt cheap prices and simple, linear perfumes that aren’t going to require a second mortgage to explore! You can literally buy the whole line, for under $200!
I’m talking 10 bottles for the price of one niche brand or overpriced chemist line frag!
Who doesn’t love a bargain? You can’t go wrong here. A ‘must have’ line for gourmand lovers
* edit, as expected, this is almost identical to Angel, The Taste of Fragrance,with Cocoa powder. Angel,having a slightly more bitter chocolate note than this one.
This my third in the Les Senteurs gourmandes range.
Probably my least favorite, but glad to own it, got it for a song.
All in all, if you love Angel, you’ll love this too.
It’s still dirt cheap, even at twice the price but no nasty cheap smells. LASTS FOR AGES!
