What does Chocolate Citronique smell like?

It opens on vanilla, chocolate and praliné; the heart holds cocoa, hazelnut and orange, and the base settles into almond, pastry and caramel. The citrus accord cuts through the sweetness, with a spicy touch alongside. The overall impression is sweet and gourmand.

Longevity is rated moderate and sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only tentative. It suits those who like chocolate-led sweet scents and reads neither masculine nor feminine. Perfumes with a close profile include Theodoros Kalotinis Coffee Addict and La Fede Choco Brown.
