From your scent profile
Nez à Nez Marron Chic is a unisex gourmand that moves from a floral, fruity opening into the sweet, powdery warmth of cocoa and resin; it has been discontinued.
Skunky's take: Floral accords up front; keep it from the bees.

What does Marron Chic smell like?
The top is bright with citrus notes, kumquat and orange blossom. In the heart, iris, violet and cocoa bring a soft, sweet, powdery feel. The base of vetiver, labdanum and benzoin settles the scent on a woody, resinous and slightly earthy ground.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evening and night-out wear lead. Over half of voters read it as feminine, though a fair number find it masculine.
