Hi, Odonata — I’ve been meaning to try A*men for ages. And I actually did like Avril Lavigne’s fragrance when I tried it. It did what it was supposed to do, as Robin would say, and the chocolate note gave it some depth.

I do like chocolate, but never thought I’d want to wear it. I just received a decant of Thierry Mugler A*Men Pure Coffee, which has a bit of chocolate in it – I haven’t tried it yet since I’m getting over a cold and don’t want to waste it (or any other scent really)when I can’t totally appreciate it with my stuffy nose. I also liked Avril Lavigne’s Black Star when I spritzed it in a store – it has a little chocolate to it as well.

Pyramus, I remember that St. Ives body wash!! It was ahead of its time. I saw it in the drugstore (mid-90s?) and couldn’t figure it out; a body product that smelled like chocolate?! How weird! I’ve never forgotten that moment, hah!

St. Ives used to make the most amazing chocolate body wash, which smelled like a pan of fresh brownies, and then of course they discontinued it. Yves Rocher used to have a spectacular chocolate body wash as part of its Plaisirs Nature line, and then of course they discontinued it.

Luckily, Demeter makes a number of chocolate scents, including Tootsie Roll, Junior Mint, Chocolate Chip Cookie, and Brownie. Most of them are available as a body lotion and a shower gel. Haven’t tried any of the body products, just the scents.

Love to eat chocolate, but I really, really dislike it in fragrance. Even the cocoa in Theorema bothers me.

But Dulces en Fuego is a genius name!

Superlong, This oil spray really does have a nice texture, and I think it might even be available in another (non-cocoa?) scent!
