Chocolate Amere by Il Profumo $135 for 100 ml or $3 for .7 ml at Lucky Scent is chocolate the way it ought to be done.
Lucky Scent carries 16 Il Profumo fragrances.
It is supposed to be for men, but seriously, it's great for women too. It is not like L'Instant for Men, which also has some chocolate. It is more incensy and less sharp.
Do you remember how much I disliked Iris Ganache on me? -- that it was the sort of chocolate scent I didn't care for and way too sweet? Ditto for the Chocolate Base Note from Creative Scentualization...
Chocolate Amere, by contrast, is a semi-dry, almost dark chocolate scent. I'm sure it is the sandalwood and incense that takes it to a new dimension.
Chocolate Amere Notes: galbanum, nutmeg, ginger, flowers, cocoa, sandalwood, incense.
L'Instant for men notes: woody with jasmine, citrus and star anise, then hibiscus, patchouli, sandalwood, lapsang tea and bitter cacao bean.
I find Chocolate Amere a bit sweeter than L'Instant for men. The chocolate is more apparent. Bookgirl pronounces it, "Delicious!" She doesn't care for L'Instant for men.
I find both fragrances similar. She doesn't see any similarities at all. The difference for me is the Patchouli in L'Instant for men. This is a drier Patchouli, not a sweet patchouli, but as it softens, it gets sweeter from the other notes.
Do you wear either of these?
What do you think? I have to be in the mood to wear L'Instant for men, and it has to soften for me to really like it on me. Chocolate Amere creates a mood, is wearable from the beginning, and might even keep me from chocolate, not a bad thing altogether.
