Chocolate Greedy

Chocolate Greedy by Montale delivers an overwhelmingly realistic and edible chocolate experience, often described as smelling like freshly baked chocolate cookies or warm, dusty cocoa powder. It is particularly celebrated for its natural, non-synthetic quality and impressive longevity, lasting up to 12 hours on skin and persisting on clothing for days. The opening features a warm blend of bitter orange, cocoa, and vanilla, evolving into a rich, slightly sweet, and deeply gourmand heart with prominent notes of milk chocolate, cream, and dried fruits. The dry down reveals a soft, warm vanilla that persists intensely, often described as 'unforgettable' and 'perfectly harmonious' on the skin, creating a cozy, comforting aura. The fragrance excels in projection and sillage, with many describing it as filling a room or attracting immediate compliments, sometimes leading to spontaneous questions about cooking or baking. It is best suited for autumn and winter wear, as its intense warmth and sweetness can feel overpowering in warmer climates. While it's typically associated with women, its gender-neutral appeal is frequently noted due to the subtle spicy undertone and the counterfeit nature of the scent, making it potentially wearable by men who appreciate bold, character-driven fragrances. There are some caveats. The intense sweetness and near-constant food-like profile may be overwhelming for some, and several users report either a sense of nausea, an unpleasant 'burnt' or 'chewing gum'-like note, or a feeling of being excessively in-the-mood as a result of the scent's appetite-inducing effect. The high intensity means it’s best used sparingly—excessive spraying can make it feel overwhelming or offensive to others.
