Does anybody know of a fragrance that have notes of Chocolate & Mint?

I've just been drinking a chocolate and mint milkshake and had a little brainwave and thought to myself hmmmm... that could make an interesting fragrance... or maybe i might end up smelling like an After Eight chocolate mint haha!

Very Irresistible by Givenchy. A wonderful fragrance which deserves more atention. Mint is mainly in the topnotes, the opening is very original. Drydown is "irresistible"

Divine l' homme Sage - has a subtle mint to it, especaially on inital application and there is a hint of chocolate in there as well. Awesome scent.

Haven't tried Very Irresistible, but A*Men sprayed lightly is a good choice. Another decent choice is Ice*Men, which is much lighter but has the same cool feel but with a pronounced patchouli effect.

The closest I can think of would be Jacomo de Jacomo Rouge. It definitely has the mint, the chocolate is debatable though. Personally, I think it smells like a chocolate and mint covered macaroon.

A*Men has chocolate, but mint - no way.

Coze 02 - no chocolate or mint that I can discern, but it is a very foody gourmand.

The best way to get chocolate and mint IMO would be to make it yourself, layer two fragrances. For mint go with Heeley Menthe or CDG Sherbert Peppermint, and then - for the chocolate look no further than Montale 'Chocolate Greedy'!
