May Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Can someone review this for me? I can't find a thread for it. Hey Linnea I did have some of this but I never reviewed it. When I got it, I could smell the cocoa and several notes in the vial, but as soon as I applied it, my dodgy skin chemistry ate some notes and I got something very, very different with zero cocoa and just quite strange. So I obviously couldn't review it. It would have been a pretty misleading review if I had tried. I still have some, and would try the cotton wool trick with it for you (I didn't know that trick when I had the CS) but the sample vial is currently packed. If nobody else can help out I will have a go when I've moved and unpacked, but I'm sure some kind soul will review it before then. May Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May I have been considering trying this one myself.....so May, I'll be waiting on your assessment of it.....I trust your judgement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
likeprettythings Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Can someone review this for me? I can't find a thread for it. In the sample vial, I instantly smelled the wine and then came the cocoa. When I applied the fragrance, the wine and slightly fruity notes were the most dominant. The cocoa was like soft background music and very subtle. A few hours later, the wine still is more noticeable than the cocoa. This is a very soft light scent. I feel that is a special occasion scent, and perfect for a fall or winter night when you feel like curling up in the couch with a glass of wine and a book.

luna65 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I think this is a nice melding of the two elements (as I've said time and again, M&D are fantastic with wine accords), my only issue is that it doesn't last long on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivy_fiddlefox Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 (edited) Just tried a sample of this. I like it so far. It's not extreme chocolate but it has that cocoa-ness to it. The cocoa does some to disappear into the background though.Fruity and pleasant.Not in a fruity candy or tropical way though of course. Reminds me a bit of a department store though that might sound weird, reminds me of expensive things and holidays. I like it! It also reminds me of a cozy cabin in the forest (not that I've ever been in the cabin), so maybe that is the oak in it or something. This perfume can take different settings.

ivy_fiddlefox Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Now I remember what this kind of smells like in the drydown. It reminds me of this parfums de coeur juice bar spray in gummy bears bbut not as strong... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo Anna Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I put this on over Woozy Floozy and a little LAM. Wow! This actually reminded me of PG: Dominance (minus the rose). The cocoa actually smells more like dark cocoa to me. I think if a rose scent was layered on and Dominance phero was added to Cocoa Sauvignon, you would have a very good replica to PG: Dominance.

tyvey Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I also find it surprisingly light and soft considering the elements. Wet, the cocoa + violet + pepper was sensuous and delightful. As usual my skin then gobbled the cocoa within seconds, leaving a whisper of sweet wine behind. For some reason this has a "wistful" feel to it for me, dreamy in the day-dreamy / creatively inspiring kind of way (not dozing-off-in-a-garden-in-June way obviously) - it makes me want to curl up next to a fire and write poetry. Off to slather myself in more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivy_fiddlefox Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 that's a similar vibe I got! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladybegood1 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 This one is lovely--cocoa right off the bat then the wine makes an appearance. It goes briefly floral wine one me then warms up to a powdery cocoa. I really like this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOC Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 This is like a cup of hot cocoa to me. Gives a very warm and cozy feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumbob Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 This is like a cup of hot cocoa to me. Gives a very warm and cozy feeling. Is this something like Festival of lights???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna65 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 No, it's a dark chocolate combined with a wine accord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOC Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I've tried a couple of chocolate-based scents and my nose can't handle it. This is probably the only other chocolate scent that I will not gag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
