Chocolate Greedy

I love the strong milk chocolate opening that the perfume has, as it is reminiscent of that of kinder chocolate or a rich cup of hot cocoa with a hint of vanilla-infused whipped cream. The bitter orange interpenetrates with other notes throughout the transformations that Chocolate Greedy undergoes, and stays ever-present much as tonka bean. Vanilla in turn, seems to latch onto the chocolate notes and provides the fragrance with a dessert-like, realistic quality. I find vanilla a bit overly persistent in the core and base area, as the chocolate in the head fleets rather quickly and a sweet vanilic aroma diminishes the other gorgeous notes that I took a liking to. The transformation from a strong, indulgent chocolate into vanilla icing with a comforting aura makes Chocolate Greedy stand out, because the realistic approach to gourmands makes this perfume an accurate representation of an indulgent dessert. Overall, it is one of my favourites when I'm looking for a cozy gourmand vibe. I wish the opening I've described would last all the way to the drydown though, since the long lasting prominence of vanilla is not something I expected.

The notes of Montale's chocolate greedy transform themselves in an irresistible alchemy. They hug, they overheat, they separate themselves, they meet and embrace again. The harmonious chocolate notes of the dry down incessantly chase one another, pristine garnish of bitter orange wraps indulging smooth gourmand tonka bean, cacao and vanilla alternate, the cadence becomes warm and indulging the movement sensual and invincible. A rich chocolate coffee bean opens the dance, while this suave gourmand and midnight delight accord bows down to the silky rhythm of a contemporary box where iconic chocolate transform into an elegant infusion perfectly combining with wild and imaginary blood orange and cocoa for an unforgettable spillage. It is like biting into a warm, fresh brownie.

Omg this is so good i love this. One of the only Montale scents that works for me as so far everything I've tried from his line just speeds into overly loud and masculine on my skin. This is a tasty, warm vanilla cocoa and I genuinely dislike most vanillas. It hovers towards one note ...some tart orange makes an appearance but its faint. it's a great realistic, scrumptious dark creamy chocolate that takes you on a olfactory journey through high quality hot chocolate wirh a side of oranges on a cold day experience. The first spray is like when you open a hot coco powder tin and there's a bloom of chocolate sugar dust inhalation. Recommend for gourmond fans. I found a travel size thats not in the montale lightweight bottles that I dont like and has a better atomizer.

Hour 1-2: I definitely get the orange, and dark chocolate. To me, it's more of a deep dark low-sugar chocolate than straight cocoa powder, and the orange is medium-bitter, not too bright or citrusy but adds some depth and mild interest. It is somewhat powdery but not overly so. It does have a little bit of creaminess from the chocolate but not a bunch. This is chocolate that only a mature, refined adult would eat, and they are not eating it for the sugar but because it pairs well with a certain wine, or something like that. It's deep and moderately rich, but not rich as in the milky/fatty way. Not sure if I love the chocolate on me (yet). 3.5/5 stars on me.

The packaging and bottle feel surprisingly cheap for the price, which was disappointing. However, the scent itself is delicious! The opening smells EXACTLY like Terry’s Chocolate Orange, and as it settles, it turns into straight-up Cocoa Puffs cereal. Sweet, chocolatey, nostalgic, and incredibly realistic. Unfortunately, the projection is quite weak, and I find myself wanting to reapply almost every hour. I love the fragrance, I just wish the performance matched the price.
