Musc Maori opens with a strong almost-cocoa note – deep and dark. I’m not sure of the quality of the note… it has the depth of dark cocoa done well but I think the actual cocoa note is closer to surreal than real, possibly because of a dark coffee note in the accord. The chocolate note is impressive, but not necessarily enjoyable. The scent is essentially linear so its drydown is simply the diminishing of the cocoa accord along with the slow expansion of some discreet amber and tonka bean notes.

Musc Maori is an ok scent but I think it exhibits a definite lack of character; Serge Lutens’ Borneo 1834 does this concept much better, I think.

Rich, yet light. A close to the skin scent.

Playful, short lived chocolate, like a smartie.

Fantastic for those who like gourmands but are looking for something different than another Pure Coffee, Yohji Homme, or New Haarlem. Musc Maori starts of with a rich cocoa note that is obnoxiously strong. This quickly settles down, and as it does a powdery musk becomes prominent. For a while this is the heart of the scent.. musky cocoa. However as the base develops the musk becomes spicier and what finally reveals itself is a lightly spicy, musky skin scent with hints of cocoa.

If you don't like gourmands, you won't like this, but it does offer much more than your average gourmand. As it is a PG, it lasts forever on my skin. Another winner from Parfumerie Generale.

The blast of chocolate is great but when it fades, and it fades quick, you are left with a very general smelling vanilla gourmande perfume that you can get anywhere for the fraction of the price. The chocolate is wonderful though but it just dissapears almost as soon as you smell it.
