I must have one messed up PH because I never get all those exotic awakenings of a scent. This started out like gently boozed egg nog on me and now just vanilla sugar with a hint of powder. It smells a bit like a plastic doll's head, if that makes sense to you. I'll wear it for a couple days and ask folks what they think of it, but I'm not going to purchase the bottle. Shame, as I had envisioned a far more masculine scent with Maori in the title. I've just tried this today and after an hour I still smell like a sugar cookie.

I have smelled them at orchid shows, and had someone familiar with the flower whiff my wrist and he agreed. I got off on wearing this - it is exceptionally strange but so intriguing to smell so chocolately and yet not like candy. 10 years after the review I finally tried this – what it really reminded me of is a chocolate orchid.

This is a great line and I wish they'd find a distributor in the US. So glad it found another fan, K. This is a great line and I wish they'd find a distributor in the US.

I love this fragrance. It is sweet and edible but it is also drop dead sexy. Even my husband can't get enough. This is dark chocolate to me, not milk chocolate with candied orange peel like CSP Amor de Cacoa or Serendipitios. Yes there is a coffee note, and I'm not that into coffee in my frags but this just makes the chocolate more soulful. And the musk is what makes this highly addictive, yum! I will be buying this as soon as my huge sample is gone! I am leaving a coment here even though these posts were made some time ago. I love this fragrance.

Thought all 3 were good, but in very different ways. Cologne Grand Siecle is probably the one I like the best of the 3, but it also might be the least unusual of the 3.

While I am at it, is there another I should get?
