What does Delicious Chocolate smell like?

The scent comes as one whole, with a gourmand, oriental sweetness. Dark chocolate, vanilla and amber carry the sweetness, plum and peach add a soft fruitiness, and jasmine and rose form the floral side. Bergamot and lemon grass lend a light freshness, while musk and woods keep everything on a powdery, warm base.

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters pick fall and winter, with leisure and daily wear leading and office use not far behind. It reads feminine. Its profile is close to M. Micallef Watch and Chopard Cašmir (Eau de Parfum).
