This is a review for the oil. This oil puts to bed the debate as to whether perfume oils project or not. Try this and you will know that they indeed do, and very well! A mouth watering gourmand at a silly price. The main note I get from this is vanilla, followed by chocolate and musk. It's a very warm fragrance so that must be the amber. Performance on this is excellent. I get 12+ hours longevity with 3+ hours of projection. Sillage is strong. At the price of a few euro you can afford to blind buy and you won't be disappointed if you are a gourmand lover!
*Don't be afraid to put this on your clothes to increase performance!*
To me this is the smell of sugar rather than cacao. It smells like opening a swiss-miss hot cocoa packets with those strange little crunchy mini marshmallows. It's synthetic/powdery sugar with a touch of chocolate. There's some sort of dry nuttiness (reminiscent of brazil nuts) as well that I've noticed in other synthetic chocolate scents like Somethin' Special's Chocolate Drizzle. There's definitely musk here as well. Clean, not animalic. A simple scent, but jeez does it last a long time - a swipe from my rollerball will leave a musky sugary scent on my skin for about 2 days. Though it's not a satisfying chocolate scent for me, I still use it occasionally for layering under more complex scents. Layered with cocoa butter after a shower, it's a simple, sweet musky scent that seems to attract men. Hmph.
The name Choco Musk says it all: milk chocolate with a touch of musk. This fragrance doesn't change or develop on my skin at all: I had been expecting something more along the lines of Mugler's A*Men, but what I got was Cadbury's Dairy Milk in a bottle!
Not at all unpleasant, but milk chocolate, and very little else.
Yum, yum and YUM! Warm, smooth, creamy chocolate. This is an entirely different beast to my other chocolate scents; sweet, but not too sweet, with a lovely kick from the sandalwood and spices and a soft warmth from the amber. I got this last Friday, rolled some on my girlfriend for her to try, and her husband immediately pounced on her and started sniffing and smooching her. I wore it to a party the following night, and the first thing I heard when I walked into the room was “oh yum, what’s that, it smells delicious!” The lady took down the name of this scent and said she’d be ordering some as soon as she got home. Similar to Chocolate Greedy, but without that smoky overtone, a bit like The Exact Friction of Stars, but without the sweet blood orange note. Longevity is great – I could still smell this, only softer, the next morning. Projection is good too – around arm’s length. My husband reckons this smells more spicy than sweet, which just shows how differently our noses are wired – I get some spice, but I mostly get yummy chocolate! I’ve been having a lot of fun layering this with different scents. So far the ones I’ve layered this with are: Purr (Katy Perry) – pretty; Jovan Musk – unusual but there’s something really quite lovely about they way they work together; Tabu – warm, spicy chocolate; Vanille (Reminiscence) – look out, vanilla chocolate bomb! It’s excellent value too – I picked up two 6ml rollerball bottles for less than $15 on ebay, including delivery. A very definite thumbs up from me. I’m definitely keen to explore more from the Al-Rehab line.
Choco Musk is one of my favourite Al Rehabs and its great for layering. Its a sweet chocolate with huge sillage and good longevity.
