    In 2008 I made a Chocolate Perfume Guide, 5 years have passed and I need to update it. Here’s my Chocolate Perfume Guide Volume II.

    Under $75

    Demeter Devils Food Cologne – Demeter makes quite a few chocolate scents – Brownie, Chocolate Chip Cookie, Hershey’s…my favorite is Devils Food. It smells just like chocolate cake batter. It’s a short lived fragrance (it’s a cologne spray) but it’s fun to use as a room spray. If you want it to last longer, spray your undershirt or scarf. The 1 oz spray retails for $20 at Demeter. Here’s my review. 

    Sweet Anthem Anita EDP – If you want to smell like a peppermint mocha, look no further. Anita is a minty chocolate coffee perfume. The 10 ml EDP retails for $22. It’s also available as a perfume oil or solid at Sweet Anthem. FYI – This one is now a limited run that shows up on special occasions :)

    Scent of Departure VIE Vienna EDT – This one starts out as minty and grassy. The base is a cup of creamy coffee with a side of chocolate truffles. The 1.7 oz bottle retails for $45 at Beautyhabit. Here’s my review.

    Bvlgari Blv Notte EDT – This smells like chocolate flavored vodka. Flip the bottle upside down and it looks like a martini glass. The 1.7 oz EDT retails for under $50 at Fragrancenet.

    Rebel & Mercury Cerise en Cocoa parfum – This one is more cherry than chocolate but the earthy chocolate is there. As is a vetiver. It’s more delicious than a cherry cordial. The 9ml parfum retails for $70 at Sweet Anthem.

    Over $75

    Perfumes by Nature Death by Chocolate EDP (not pictured)- Chocolate. Chocolate with spice and woods. Straight forward and wearable. The 2.4 oz EDP retails for $75 at Perfume by Nature. 

    Montale Chocolate Greedy EDP – This a literal chocolate truffle with cream. It has the typical Montale strength and longevity that we expect. Yum. The 1.7 oz bottle retails for $110 at Luckyscent.

    Providence Perfume Co. Cocoa Tuberose EDP – This is a rich chocolate and tuberose fragrance. Trust me it works. The base is a cherry pipe tobacco. It’s my favorite chocolate perfume. Here’s my review. The 1 oz. bottle retails for $110 at Providence Perfume Co. 

    Theirry Mugler Angel EDP – This is the classic now. It’s a gourmand with chocolate, patchouli, red berries and vanilla. The 1.7 oz retails for $115 at Sephora.

    DSH Perfumes Piment et Chocolat EDP – This is a spicy, dense dark chocolate with moss. It’s very long-wearing. The 1 oz. EDP retails for $135 at DSH Perfumes. Here’s my review.

    Arquiste Anima Dulcis EDP – This is a hot Mexican chocolate syrup with dark chocolate and hints of spice. It retails for $165 at Beautyhabit.

    Guerlain Les Elixirs Charnels Gourmand Coquin EDP – Pink pepper and chocolate cake. The 2.5 bottle retails for $260 at Nordstrom.

    The extras:

    LUSH Double Choc Lip & Cheek Tint (not pictured)- This is tinted balm that smells delicious. It smells like chocolate. Here’s my review with swatches. It retails for about $9 at LUSH.

    Aftelier Chocolate and Saffron Body Oil & Hair Elixir (not pictured)- I am a huge fan of this nourishing oil. It works wonders on my hair and I love the spicy cocoa fragrance. It retails for $50 at Aftelier. If you use it as a hair oil, this bottle will last a very long time.

    I’ve highlighted a few. This list could be longer. What are your favorite chocolate-centric perfumes?
