Chocolat Frais Il Profvmo for women

If somebody gave me a sample of this without telling me the name, I'd say it was Angel EDT. It's very... VERY... similar to it. It seems it has worked with my body chemistry 'cause it lasts a long time on my skin. A nice gourmand fragrance, but unnecessary if you already own Angel and some of its flankers.

I invariably get all excited about trying out a new chocolate perfume and am grateful to Yamba1 for the chance to try this. However, it does not even register a tremor on the chocolate seismograph - if there is any chocolate there it is totally hammered by the immense white florals. I am disappointed yet again, but the search will continue (Montale Chocolate Greedy is the only one which fits the bill in my testing history so far).
Oh, and Musc Maori for buttery chocolate.

Chocolate, vanilla, powdery perfume. On the stronger side. I like chocolate, to eat, not so much to smell like it. However I can appreciate this since it settles nicely on the skin and smells warm chocolatey and yummy.
This is very much so gourmandy fragrance with hints of powdery florals.

My favorite chocolate perfume, and my favorite absinthe perfume; it's mysterious and alluring, because the absinthe definitely keeps it from smelling run-of-the-mill. The lasting power is excellent, and the boozy chocolate lasts throughout wear. Smelling like Godiva Liqueur is amazing for lifting spirits! (pun intended) I won't be repurchasing this any time soon, though, because it is over-priced for my taste. If it cost $50.00 less, I would definitly keep it in my wardrobe. My husband is unimpressed with chocolate or vanilla fragrances, and he's apparently anosmic to Chocolat Frais.

I bought this blindly, it was the cocoa and absinthe notes that attracted me to it. Plus being an "Il Profvmo", which is a house of very high quality, I was expecting this to be love at first sniff.
Not so fast... I could love this, but only after the first 5 minutes pass...
I must admit, my bad, that the first 5 minutes I don't enjoy, as the scent reminds me of Angel, minus all the chemical choking Angel has. But still, a softer, classier, Angel.
Once the those 5 minutes are gone, the scent starts developing its own character. It morphs into something that is still not completely original, but rather a woodier version of Visa by Robert Piguet, plus some cocoa, woods and absinthe.
The sweetness it has is not very gourmand, it must come from vanilla or the white peach, I cannot say precisely.
Silage and lasting power are a bit above average.
In all this is a beautiful scent, but considering is well over the $100 mark, I am not sure I recommend it.
I dislike Angel, but I love love love Piguet's Visa. I also love absinthe, which has a magical, almost alchemist "aura" associated with it.
So this is a sexy perfume for a woman that is mysterious, classy, and sensual but a bit introverted, with a very interesting development on my skin. If you make it past the first 5 minutes....

I love the other to chocolate scents from this line but this is not going to be a purchase for me. It is authentic cocoa but the absinthe doesn't sit well with me and makes it too medicinal for me and not feminine enough.
