MASAKI MATSUSHIMA CHOCOLAT MAT REVIEWS

Fragrantica: "I bought this as a blind buy off of ebay despite some of these negative reviews and let me just say that I am so HAPPY that I did! I have only tested it once as I just got it today so I will update later on further use. I can already say that this is love for me! It's not complicated it's rich, melted, gooey milk chocolate on my skin! For valentines day I made my boyfriend treats with melted chocolate and they smelled exactly like this! I do not get anything synthetic and I agree that the sillage is not very good but this is something I wanted as a personal scent anyways for the enjoyment of my boyfriend only. I cannot WAIT to wear it for him. EDIT: I find myself spraying this on my wrists all of the time! It is so mouthwatering! I can now pick up the watermelon note, chocolate covered watermelon, and I can do it without feeling like a fat kid! I need to stop using it for no reason or I will be out of it before I know it!"

Fragrantica: "For me, Chocolat Mat was a godsend; chocolate-y, but not too literal. when people comment that i smell gorgeous, I tell them it's chocolate & THEN they can tell. I never, ever (in 2 bottles) got any fruit whatsoever. all i get, from start to finish is dark chocolate (not synthetic at all) with musk & sandalwood. It's gourmand without being sickening. It really is worth at least a sample if you are a chocolate or gourmand afficionado. Lasting power is decent, and the bottle is pretty cool, too.

Fragrantica: "The dry down on this is fantastic. I normally do NOT like any type of overt chocolate fragrance but I read such good reviews I decided to give this a shot. When I first sprayed it, it was a BLAST of chocolate and I thought this is ridiculous and is going back. Then sometime in the next 15-30 minutes, something magical happens. The chocolate fades into the background leaving only a trace (thank goodness) and it becomes the most beautiful, sensual, almost hypnotic and delicious fragrance. I kept smelling my wrist every few minutes because I could not get enough. Not too sweet, not too chocolatey, not too sexy...but sensual, not too fruity...but you can't miss the black currant, not too girly...but feminine. Yet somehow this would work on a man. It is classified as a floral but I am not getting ANY flowers. I could try to describe the notes but it really wouldn't do it justice and everybody smells something different anyway. This is really a unique fragrance (or it was when it was released in 2005)."

Fragrantica: "Too much chocolate for me to wear by itself, but when I layer it, like over angel or even obsession.. OMG its good.. I going to have lots of fun layering this over different gourmond scents!! I dont get the fruit or floral notes but maybe I'm not wearing it long enough by itself."

Fragrantica: "I love it !!! Initially chocolaty and sweet, but not overloaded, continuing with an almost floral vainillian combination; with a decent longevity, sillage moderate, the drydown is very similar to an Argentinian fragrance called "Absolute Vanilla", from Universo Garden Angels. Delicious!!!"

Fragrantica: "I purchased this fragrance during my search for Chocolate based scents, and it's actually a pretty interesting take on a chocolate fragrance without being totally gourmand. Upon first spray I get a big whiff of cocoa powder, dark rich dry cocoa powder. Then the mid brings in a watery-effect which I wonder if is contributed by the rose & watermelon accord. It actually works, but this watery-effect is what makes this chocolate less of a gourmand. The rose must be what is keeping this from smelling edible. So yes, to me this is an unedible chocolate, haha. Very intersting chocolate frag, I like it. It's different, unique, and innovative."

Fragrantica: "Living on a diet of chocolates & cigarettes
I wanna call you again
I'll drink tea sometimes when its cold
This is getting old(...)
Blowing out the candles from my cake
I choke on the smoke as I look around the room"

"That's exactly how this perfume smells like. It's from beginning to the very end DARK chocolate. Not the kind of milky chocolate, sweet, fluffy and comforting. No. The blackest of black ones. After the initial chocolate accord I can smell something like smoke (musk?) mixed with tea and a hint of something rose-ish. Not bad, not bad at all it's just not very complex and developing. Instead quite plain and warm if you don't mind strong, dusty chocolate note."
