Mat Chocolat

But Spray.That's it. That's all I get.

A fun and pleasant gourmand that unfortunately has zero lasting power - not even when sprayed on clothing… I like it so much though and I don’t have any chocolate scents - so I do not regret! (Price was very reasonable!)

It's nice! Not FBW, but definitely lovely. On someone else this is probably superb. My skin has a habit of amplifying two things: any level of screech, any level of sweetness. The amplified sweetness and my challenges with wearing cocoa (natural or synthetic) means this isn't wearable for me. This perfume smells very natural and the sandalwood and watermelon give it a lovely watery impression. It dries down into a beautiful, delicate floral - which on its own is quite unique to any on the market that I have smelled in quite a long time. The cultural influences are apparent and makes it very unique to come across in the US where we seem to favor strong fruity-florals with a sythetic edge and often ambroxan or wood-aroma molecules in the base. This makes a lot of aromas very similar both in structure and impression. Chocolat Mat is such a refreshing change! The pyramid is confused here: base first, then top, followed by heart, long into the dry-down. I would be completely in love, the watermelon is so beautiful here, but my skin just can't do the chocolate note. It's definitely worth trying. It's delicate, feminine, and alluring in a not-overtly-sexual type of way.

Its a bit of a surprising scent. I normally have trouble with dry cacao note as well as with finding true realistic chocolate (chocolatey patchouli smells very off on my skin). I tried Mat Chocolate in store with quite a bias- low price and negative reviews plus my own unsuccessful tries with chocolate scents- to say I was cautions would be understatement. But it really hooked me- though initially a bit messy, it revealed an image of Kahlua, Finnish coffee liqueur, and developed into a clear natural milk chocolate accord, but in a way you have in chocolate candies filled with Finlandia vodka, in a slightly boozy way. Plus its quite musky and airy, not very sugary at all, and has a distant fruity touch.. all in all its a weird scent, but whilst I understand the negative reviews, it works on me really well. The milk choco note is realistic, not on the dark side (I normally prefer dark choco in desserts) and its radiating and not overwhelming having some added bonus of a nice trail. Interesting aspect- I first tried it in hot summer weather and it evaporated quickly, though now in cooler autumn air it wafts around me for hours, and most importantly- the choco stays all the way to the dry-down...... I enjoyed the shop try, purchased and wore off then a 5 ml decant and finally now, have bought a full bottle to wear in mild autumn and spring time when it seams to shine. Which proves- no two chemistries and noses are alike, what doesn't suit one, may be a fantastic find for another :)

To my nose, just being honest here, everyone has their own experience, view point, chemistry... this smells like sweaty feet. Sweaty feet with a hint of melon. No chocolate or anything at all that I could get used to or learn to like. Just straight up like dirty feet stomping unripe melon to make... uh, melon beer? Oh, maybe I smell some yeast or something too... possibly fungus? Ugh, another blind buy fail! P.S. I would class this as Unisex/AnySex/NoSex because this scent on me is not sexy, it smells more like a medical problem.

It's a pleasant fruity chocolate fragrance to me. I think it smells a lot like when you open a box of cherry cordials. All the fruit notes blend together to me into an impression of cherries. Projection and longevity is fairly poor, which is too bad because it's one of the few gourmand fragrances I really enjoy wearing. But, it's inexpensive, so I don't mind applying it generously

This was a blind buy and a major mistake. Upon first spray, I got an initial burst of sharp ethanol. Few seconds later, a mellow chocolate set in, then a wave of fruity ozonic melon underscored by some black currant notes. But then, in 4-5 minutes, the scent develops into a salty, gamey, animalic muskiness that reminds me a bit of wet dog smell. Could it be the black currant? I couldn't describe the stinkiness. I have a bottle of this 100ml I'm willing to sell anyone at a steal if they want. Message if you want!

Iwould like to introduce the most underrated EDP in the world : Mat Chocolate. I was on a chocolate perfumes kick and was able to score this for 10$ !! I sprayed it once, found it to be a syrupy pure chocolate scent, and moved on. A few months later I decided I would like to start using it up.. so I sprayed alot..the begining is the same as before, but it slowly morphed into a warm beautiful very calm very wearable cashmere scent. The longevity is actually decent, and I have a skin that eats up most long wearing perfumes...this is a beautiful EDP that I feel bad it was 10$ and I plan on getting a back up of it. Update: its been 6 hours since I sprayed it directly on my skin that eats up almost any perfume, yet I can smell it clearly, its beautiful !!

This is weak...at least in dabber form. I sprayed it on 10 minutes ago and can barely smell it work my nose shoved up to my skin. The fruity opening seemed weird to me. The chocolate scent is simple and thin with a hint of musk.

You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone. By this, I mean you will enjoy the single hour this lasts on your skin, and then you will miss it profusely when it inevitably fades away. Chocolat Mat is a true showstopper, but only for a little while. Sweet, modern powdery notes blend softly with semi-sweet chocolate notes to make a truly delightful frag- I like to wear it as a bedtime scent or over other gourmand favorites (Try it over Tom Ford's Black Orchid or Gaultier Natural Spray). The silage is only okay. Truly, this is one of those perfumes you buy for your own pleasure, but I think it's definitely worth buying for the price. I got a 1.7oz bottle for 15 dollars and enjoy it almost every day. Also, it's a great perfume if you want to wear it in the morning but not the rest of the day. It will wear off by the time you want to switch frags for eveningtime! Also, the cool bottle is definitely a plus if you display your collection.

I've been searching for a replacement chocolate perfume for my beloved La Perla Dark Extacy and this is NOT it. Boring, wimpy, no real depth. I'll pass. I guess the search continues.

If you like this frag, yay for that. But I don't... This smells like a chocolate liqueur, that has gone bad. OMG stay away. I honestly have to wash my waist. Outside of that...it's a weak sauce at best frag. And if a person walked up to me, while wearing this... I'd stick a piece of mint gum in my mouth and while drinking ice cold water, just trying not to say "get back!". SMFH, no no no...god no. Skip this frag. I used six sprays...both wrist, back & front of my neck, chest, and front of my shirt. Will I buy this again? No. What's the strength of this? EDP. Does this fragrance enter BEAST MODE, good, just okay or weak sauce at best? Weak as hell, but the stink lingers. Can you use it as a unisex scent? Yes. Am I willing to trade this fragrance? Yes. Should You Skip It, Sample It First or Blind Buy It? You can skip it. Is it the old, new formulation? New. What's its availability; in production, limited edition or discontinued? In production.

More often than not I love fragrances with tart fruits and chocolate. Mat Chocolat has both, but unfortunately, I don't like it too much. In the beginning, the chocolate note is strong - but I wouldn't call it cacao or dark chocolate like the notes suggest, it's more like sweet milk chocolate mixed with light coconut and melon. And then it developes to something weird and unpleasant on my skin. I never had problems with black currant notes, but this one turns a little stinky on me. Also, the chocolate reminds me of a rancid cheap easter bunny at this point - yuck! It just seems like the chocolate and the tart fruity notes aren't well blended, it smells messy. The drydown after an hour or more gets better, but is more of a sweet fruity/floral musk with just a hint of chocolate. Pleasant enough, but not worth the wait. My sample is a few years old, back then I liked it better for some reason. Either my taste or chemistry has changed a bit, or this doesn't age well. It doesn't smell like a turned perfume though, and it was always light milk chocolate and fruity notes to me, never anything dark.

Bought Chocolat today at TJMaxx after an extreme markdown. It's interesting and more 'present' than I anticipated. I like the way the citrus plays with the chocolate, leaving an antiseptic, cleaning product whiff. While that sounds terrible, the perfume is actually quite playful. Menthol is not listed, but on my skin, this note peeks out from behind the others. Chocolat should layer well with others, too. Successful blind buy.

What a really nice surprise! I came across this at TJ Maxx and I had to try it. I was a little concerned at first about watermelon and chocolate in the same scent, but it works! It's hard to believe this is just fruits and chocolate because it almost dries down a little floral, but it's the watermelon/grapefruit combo at work, I think. Makes it a little sweet but not too much. This is more of a skin scent, it doesn't project a great deal but I've been able to smell it on myself all day. Okay so I have re-applied THREE times so far...but that's only because I really love it! This is a semi-sweet chocolate, not too spicy, although the sandalwood is there and just serves to anchor this nicely. I'm LOVING the coconut. Oh my gosh, this is reminding me of a Mounds bar. Y.U.M. I've been wanting to acquire a (discontinued) Body Shop Chocomania fragrance (I already do have the lotion and shower gel) and this Chocolat smells very, very similar (so maybe I don't need to hunt it down now!). This would be amazing to layer over Angel Muse or any other scent that is chocolate dominant. This is a love!!

I'm really not into gourmand scents. This one is nice. It doesn't last long. At all. It's great for layering. I occasionally put a few sprays over top a nice tubereuse Parfüme. You know to change it up a bit from time to time. However, I noticed that the same issue with the posters is longevity. Perhaps layering it with another fragrance. After I put hair oil in my hair I spray my hair brush with it and brush my hair immediately. It lasts most of the day. Doing it this way adds a nice Coco scent to my hair and a nice touch to whatever scent I'm wearing from the neck down. For instance if I'm wearing a rose clove perfume, I'll add a bit of this in my hair. Nice combo for the winter. But, only draw back is my hubby wants to eat me. As far as longevity, the matching scented lotion helps with that.

Yeah, I really like this one. The combination of sandalwood, coconut, cocoa, and musk is so beautiful. Its overall vibe is creamy, milky, cozy and casual. The chocolate/cocoa is strongest for the first 10 to 15 mins then tones down and blends with the other notes and there is a hit of fruity sweetness to it. It's not too heavy though - I'd think of chocolate as a fragrance to be reserved for colder weather but this one works well even in fall time and on warmer days. It was sunny and just below 70 degrees yesterday and I thought it worked well. It can be found very cheaply which is a bonus - I got mine at Marshall's for $13. Edit: This is what I imagined Choco Musk by Al-Rehab might smell like before I smelled it - Choco Musk (roll on oil) dries down really plastic on my skin and the cocoa note is fairly fleeting. I really prefer Mat Chocolate - it's chocolatey but not overkill.

Mat Chocolate is *so close* to being the perfect chocolate fragrance but unfortunately it just barely misses. I love eating chocolate and I love the smell of it, but actually wearing chocolate-forward fragrances is tricky because I find most of them to be very heavy and smothering. There's also an unfortunate association with that "generic chocolate" note that you smell in all sorts of cheap chocolate-scented products like lotions and lip balms. Mat Chocolate smells richly of chocolate but has just enough airiness and openness to not feel like you're drowning in a vat of chocolate syrup. The problem is that it loses this quality on skin very quickly. It's not that it smells chocolatey on skin for 30 minutes and disappears -- it's more that it smells chocolatey for 10 minutes and then flattens out in a weird way, like Hershey's syrup mixed into a glass of flat Dr. Pepper. After 20 minutes all you can smell is a weak shampoo-like scent with no chocolate. It's unusual that the fragrance performs this way considering it's an EDP. This was so close to being a perfect chocolate fragrance, but the lackluster performance and weird development on skin misses the mark for me. Oh well!

PROS: First spray emitted a lovely cocoa and melony scent and then dried down to a lovely sandalwood, coconut and musk. Smells wonderful and put me in a good mood. I am a gourmand lover and gravitate towards all things cocoa. Not bad for $12.00 bucks for a huge bottle from TJ Maxx. CONS: Scent is fleeting and last for about an hour on me. I tried spraying it on my clothing hoping for more sillage but that was a bust. BOOOOOOO!!!! Will not repurchase.

Just got this and I really like it. I smell chocolate but something more I think similar to unisex perfume... It's really nice and really unique bottle. Try it.

I wasn't expecting it but this is actually very chocolatey. After the initial alcohol scent dissipates, maybe 10 seconds or so you can smell the thick delicious cacao. After maybe 15 minutes it turns into BLV Notte, which is discontinued and is the reason why I purchased MAT honestly, so I'm happy. No big silage here, no real longevity, just a few spritzes for yourself and to satisfy that chocolate craving somewhat. Worth.

This was just okay. Chocolate & watermelon together was both a little neat but mostly a little weird. Gave it away to someone who likes both the scent & the unusual bottle. Scent did not seem to last long on me.

I bought this as a blind buy, because I was able to get it for a really good price. I’m glad I did – it’s rather lovely. I was a bit worried when I first sprayed it on, because it smelt like the chocolate syrup we used to get growing up (Nestle). Thankfully that settles fairly quickly once it dries down. The chocolate and cacao starts to come out, and yes, the blackcurrant is there as well – unusual but intriguing. Normally I’m not a fan of fragrances with a watermelon note, but thankfully, in this, it’s very faint, and it melds in well with the rose. I get the sandalwood very faintly – on me, this does smell chocolatey and yummy and I've had a few positive comments on it. Sillage is decent, but sadly, the longevity isn’t great – barely four hours, five if I’m lucky.

Light, airy chocolate. Not a gourmand. Top notes are strange, dry down is better. If you get a deal it's good for olfactory education.

Starts off with cacao & hazelnut, gourmand but not too sweet. About 10 minutes in, a sharp, rotten, ozonic melon develops, but quickly recedes. Finally, after another 10-15 minutes, it dries down to a mild, soapy musk with a hint of vanillic sweetness that's not identifiably chocolate. The middle part is truly awful, but short-lived and without much projection, as is the entire fragrance experience. It could be used as a body spray, if you can get past that brief sour middle.

Totally agree with glittergalz. Nothing unique. I have many chocolate scents so I am selling or swapping my bottle of this. Contact if interested. USA.

I just want to write a review to offset the fabulous reviews because those fabulous reviews prompted me to buy this. I can tell you this scent is nothing earth shattering. While the aroma is not unpleasant, The spray feels clean and fresh and similar to chocolate cooking extract If you were considering to try this scent, I say skip it and use your money toward something better or save a few bucks and buy mine off me

Gorgeous well balanced chocolate floral. The gourmand nature is definitely there but it's tempered by the floral, watermelon, and citrus notes. Others mention the lack of longevity. I find that base white musk used is one for which many people are anosmic so this may be the case because I found it to be quite long lasting. I sprayed a bit of it on while standing in line at a TJ Maxx, decided against purchasing it, and left the store. I ended up doubling back 20 minutes later because the sprayed area was so phenomenal. The first 10-15 minutes are all about this boozy Kahlua like accord Finally, the dry down is a refreshing unisex white musk with a chocolate undertone. I'm happy that I picked it up. The bottle was 2.5 oz and was on clearance for just $8. At that price, I don't mind treating like a great smelling chocolate body spray instead of the EDP that it purports to be.

I picked this up because I loved the bath gel. The fragrance spray smells like interior wall paint mixed with papaya. It's true what everyone is saying about the sad longevity. Update: Right at the tail end, there is a feminine, powdery scent like that in Curve Crush. Too bad it it's too short and fleeting.

While at TJ's I happen to see a huge bottle for $9.99 so I grabbed it. A wonderful spent $9.99 if you ask me. I do not have a single chocolate fragrance and this is really neat. I did have Choco musk oil but I love this more. At first strong choco blast. I was asking myself do I really want to smell like chocolate? Of course it's Easter weekend yeah I do want to smell like chocolate. So after about 15 min the choco calms down and there is a nice musk remaining. This is a close to the body scent but a very fun one. I'm glad got it and I will definitely enjoy the novelty of this one.
