Choc de Cardin Pierre Cardin for women

I found this while rummaging around in my mum's old cosmetics cupboard... As I expected, such an old perfume isn't really to my liking. It's too strong and old-fashioned. I would describe it as floral, with some oriental notes, particularly (what I thought was) cardamon. If anyone wants it I can do a swap - 50mL and mostly unused.

I have worn this for years since Pierre brought it out and love but people's skin tones all differ for example Dior and Chanel perfumes apart from cristalle smell like cats pee on me

I hate when people teashily put down a perfume they don't like. It make me feel sick to hear how there skin reacts to perfume ie the lady with oak moss. It's as bad a writing a review for perfumes where I react. But people are ignorant and can't just say it didn't suit them or they didn't like. I wonder do they do that for thousands of other perfumes. Get a life and move on

Me I absolutely adore Choc de Cardin I wear perfume of that I'll
Cristalle by Chanel
L'air du temps by Nina Ricci
Rice Gauche by YSL
And Choc is that light floral but slightly musky smell I adore

My question is, as I am running out of it now, ok you can buy at Pierre Cardin in France but how??

I have to update my review below. Worn in the summer this is so much better, more like a lite version of Bandit, which may sound a bit OTT for hot weather but it works.

Sorry, but all I get is Raid bug spray. Maybe my bottle has turned, total scrubber!

This was my first proper perfume which I got for my 15th birthday. Loved it at the time although it was a bit odd and different - it's a low key, subtle and cool perfume. You can still buy it in the Pierre Cardin shop in Paris. I nearly bought it again but decided I didn't like it enough to buy a big bottle

Choc actually menas 'shock' in French so don't confuse it with choc as in chocolate. Would be interested to test this given the polarity in the reviews.

This is the most bizarre perfume I've ever smelled. Although it's not listed in the notes, I swear I smell cumin. Not good.


Edited to add: the odd smell in this is oakmoss, this is the mossiest perfume I've even smelled. I make soap (or should say I used to, haven't made any in a while) and had a bottle of oakmoss fragrance oil, never used. I took a whiff of it and after making a face and taking a few steps back, I knew why Choc smelled so weird. It's not a totally horrible smell but definitely needs to be mixed with other scents, no way would I use the oakmoss FO alone for anything. And I am a moss lover, I go out of my way to get pre-reformulation perfumes. By itself oakmoss is nearly putrid smelling, it almost stings your nose and smells kind of like vinegar, not very pleasant. But once mixed with other FO's it isn't bad, only a little, it's very strong.

Label said "Choc". Sounded inviting. Wasn't.

Sorry in advance, but yes, the smell on my arm really was a "SHOCK". Geddit? Spelt "Choc" but pronounced "shock".

Couldn't scrub it off. Can't explain the horror.

Can't really remember what this smelt of vague memories, I had a huge bottle bought for me by an old boyfriend, so must have liked itat some time!

ريحته تجنن حلوه مره لو تحبون اوسوفاج لديور او تحبون ديورلا لديور كمان وتحبون راويح قبرصيه حامضه راح يناسبكم

Dear friends,
I'm very happy to know Choc is still made. So I want to know if I can buy in Spain or if someone would send it me . Definitly, where can I by Choc?
It was longtime whe I used it, them I couldn't fine it anymore, but even now I think in it, its smell brougth me to exotic places, for me it was a plesure.
Best regards.

I had the perfume years ago and remember a strong note of ginger and warm spices. I loved it. It was a change from the big orientals and huge florals that were popular at the time.

I thought it had been discontinued. Would love to know if still available. Any suggestions as to similar perfumes ?
