Il Profumo Chocolat EDP


I love chocolate. I do. I adore chocolate possibly more than any other consumable item on Earth. I'm not picky about the form it comes in, either. Cake, brownie, fudge, frosting, bar, chip, liquid, I love it all. I love it in all flavors -- white, dark, milk, medium dark, swirl. I love it mixed with everything, too. Fruit, nuts, spices, peanut butter, nougat, carmel, milk, graham crackers, peppermint sticks... Hell, I even love chocolate beer.

When it comes to lovely cold weather, though, I love hot chocolate. Delicious, lovely, cuddly hot chocolate. I especially love Mexican hot chocolate, which marries spices like chili powder, vanilla, cinnamon, and almonds with dark chocolate to create spicy liquid love right there in your mug. Good Mexican hot chocolate is difficult to make; I cannot even imagine how much harder it is to make a perfume that captures it's delightful scent. Luckily, Il Profumo is out there to do it for me.

According to Luckyscent, Il Profumo Chocolat EDP

is dark and sweetened with candied fruit and cocoa...think more Jailia more than Serendipitous. Spiced cocoa, opulent fruits and dark vanilla, its darkly sweet charms lie in the smooth, honey-like chocolate depths. Both dangerously seductive and eye-battingly coy, Chocolat will get you noticed, but only by those very close (in other words, those special people you want to notice).

Notes: mandarin, nutmeg, sandalwood, galbanum, cocoa, plum, jasmine, yellow rose, vanilla

Il Profumo Chocolat is a spicy, nutmeggy cocoa on application. It's got a dryness to it like cocoa powder rather than melted bar chocolate, with powdery hints of vanilla, cinnamon, and chili powder like Mexican hot chocolate. As it dries down it becomes less spicy and more balanced, improving the mixture further. This is a perfect scent for bundling up in wintry weather. It's like it was designed for the pretty kiddies in those fabulous wintry GAP ads I've always loved.

"You're the only thing that I love.
It scares me more every day.
On my knees, I think clearer.
Goodness knows I saw it coming,
or at least I'll claim I did,
but in truth I'm lost for words..."
