What does Chocolate, Rose & Oud smell like?

It opens with damask rose in front. In the heart, tonka bean, dark chocolate and Bourbon vanilla soften and sweeten the scent. Burmese oud, patchouli and sandalwood sit underneath and add a spicy, oriental depth, while floral and gourmand accords run together.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as strong, though the number of votes is small. Its dense, sweet, oriental build suits cooler weather, and it can be worn by men and women alike. Câline Vanille No. 25 and Dior Dior Addict (2002) (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
