Chocolate Queen
by Navitus Parfums
Chocolate Queen by Navitus Parfums is a rich, decadent gourmand with a prominent dark chocolate and hazelnut core, balanced by creamy Irish cream, dulce de leche, and a subtle boozy depth. Over time, the fragrance softens into a smooth, woody-sandalwood base with praline and amberwood, delivering a wearable, non-cloying gourmand experience. It evolves from a slightly sharp, chemically-leaning opening into a velvety chocolate fudge with subtle nutty and woody nuances, making it suitable for cooler weather and evening wear. Longevity is moderate to long, with projection staying close to the skin—ideal for those who prefer discreet yet persistent scent trails. The scent stands out for its authenticity, avoiding the typical overt sweetness of many chocolate fragrances, and feels unisex thanks to its blend of warm woody notes and a slight spiciness. While a few reviewers describe it as bland or chemically synthetic, the majority find it deeply satisfying, with a smooth transition from top to base and a lasting, addictive quality. It excels as a 'gourmand with restraint'—not a literal dessert scent, but an elegant, nuanced chocolate experience that works as a standalone perfume or layering companion.
