Friendly, charming, and cuddly, but possessing one hell of a mean streak: cocoa absolute, French vanilla, birch tar, lavender, bourbon vetiver, wild musk, clary sage, and citrus.

I bought this on eBay for the Manly Guinea Pig (MGP) as a Happy Expensive Dinner and Two-Days-From-Dead-Flowers Day present. It's been in my keeping for a couple of weeks now and I did have to try it.

This is a rather sexually dimorphic scent between the two of us, not necessarily because of the smell itself, but because of what we can smell in it.

Bottle: CHOCOLATE!!!!!

On me:

- Wet: Hershey Kiss. I could literally eat myself to death like Pizza the Hut.

- Dry: The chocolate smell gives way to something weird. I'm not spicy...or flowery...or boozy....or vanilla-y. Something very dry and less warm than the chocolate odor, then it meets a smokey death.

On MGP:

- Wet: The same incredibly edible smell. This is what that Axe commercial with the dark chocolate guy wishes it smelled like.

- Dry: Still chocolate.

This is where I feel obligated to point out that these are my interpretations of the smell. He could not smell anything remotely like chocolate on himself, irrespective of the oil being wet or dry. The MGP swears that it smells like Snake Oil and only after three hours wear did he get chocolate notes.

Rating:

Me: 4/5

MGP: Not something I'd wear daily, but something I'd wear on a date when I want your undivided attention. It's still good. 4/5
