Niche perfumery "Montal" is very extensive. Today, only its main collection consists of 129 aromas. And every year, three or four more perfumes enter the market. Here it’s time to get confused in choosing the right fragrance. After all, a fashion house, wanting to expand its target audience, produces sweet and cool, classic and innovative compositions.
Among the main line (there is still a small Diamond collection), there are both male and female fragrances. But there are also a number of perfumes related to the category of unisex. One of them we will consider today. This is Montale Chocolate Greedy. Reviews of perfumed water, a description of its pyramid, bottle and other characteristics can be found in this article.
Gourmet Flavors
Nowadays, perfumes are fashionable, in which some food products dominate. Of course, not onions with garlic and not even the smell of mouth-watering cracklings. But vanilla, apples baked with cinnamon, coffee and other goodies are now in trend. Among the gourmet-style aromas, chocolate occupies the most honorable place. After all, everyone likes him, well, except with a few exceptions. Therefore, including chocolate in the perfume composition is a win-win option. Such spirits immediately become bestsellers.
As an example, you can mention Choco Musk from Al-Rehab, Choco Violet from Manser, Noir Aphrodisiac from Kilian and many others. What makes Montale Chocolate Greedy stand out among other chocolate flavors? In customer reviews, you can read that the uniqueness of the perfume lies in its name. The English word greedy has many meanings. The main thing is “greedy”. And indeed, once I drop this perfume on my wrist, I want to repeat it again and again. Well, unlike real chocolate, a passion for perfumes does not lead to obesity! The second, less common, but rather slang meaning of the word greedy is “jealous”. And this is also true. There are other ingredients in the composition, but chocolate wants you to appreciate and love only him.
Chocolate Greedy Montale: a fragrance description by the manufacturer
Perfumer Pierre Montal did not come up with this composition, and not the last. It appeared in 2007, when the gourmet fragrances were especially fashionable. But eleven years have passed already, and Chocolit Gridy does not leave the first position in the sales of perfumes of the Montale house. Maybe the demand for chocolate remains relevant? No, rather, users are fascinated by the wonderful composition of perfumes. After all, sweets are accompanied by no less “tasty” ingredients. Rather, chocolate goes on stage, like a disco star at a gala concert, that is, after the audience has warmed up by lesser-known performers.
So, the author weaved the top notes of the composition from Madagascar vanilla, tonka bean and vetiver. Montal placed a bitter Moroccan orange flavored with jasmine flowers in the heart of the perfume. And finally, he comes forward - His Majesty the chocolate. He is not sugary, dairy, but rather bitter, black. Hand in hand with chocolate show coffee and dried fruits.
Description Montale Chocolate Greedy according to users
As it often happens in the world of perfumery, buyers hear the line in a completely different way. As users assure, chocolate is felt already in an overture, from the very first seconds of a test. This is not a tile, and not a hot drink, but rather a dry cocoa powder, with a characteristic bitter aftertaste. But sweet vanilla emerges with it, so the first impression of the perfumery composition is very pleasant.
Tonka bean make top notes more refined. No sooner will the effect of the bittersweet duo dissipate, as you feel the aroma of citrus. The author of the composition, Pierre Montal, claims that he included a bitter orange in the list of ingredients. But buyers object that it is more likely a citrus jam than a fresh fruit. Many users felt in the composition the aroma of freshly ground coffee beans of elite varieties. The drink is seasoned with dried fruit smoke. But what users did not notice was vetiver and jasmine. Probably, the author of the perfume Montale Chocolate Greedy skillfully hid the flowers among the gourmet aromas.
Associations that perfume gives
In the first second, the Montale Gridi Chocolit takes you to the Patisseri - that is, the bakery and pastry shop in the French city or to one of Vienna's coffee houses. Outside the window, winter, from afar you can hear the sounds of the Christmas market on Cathedral Square. But inside it is light, warm and comfortable. In front of you on the table, where there is a vase with a bunch of jasmine, served a wonderful treat. Namely, a cup with steaming coffee (some claim that it is espresso, others - in Viennese).
And what kind of dessert relies on a drink? This is not a simple chocolate - in the form of sweets or tiles. This is a delicious pastry, melting in your mouth, like a Viennese sacher cake, fragrant with vanilla and orange jam. Let the early winter twilight thicken outside the window, let the snow sweep and the wind howling to the bones howl. You, in this small cozy coffee house, are in the seventh heaven from pleasure.
Who is the fragrance made for?
Perfume Montale Chocolate Greedy - unisex, that is, designed for both men and women. Moreover, it is not in doubt of either one or the other. The fact is that dark chocolate and coffee on the skin of both sexes sound different. Ladies feel more like sweet vanilla, jasmine floral accords appear more prominently, and coffee seems to be brewed in Viennese. Chocolate is bitter on men's skin, cocoa powder is more felt. Vetiver and “smoke” of dried fruits also appear more clearly, therefore the impression of a cigar club aroma is created.
The age of the owner of the perfume does not matter much. “Jealous Chocolate” is suitable for both young sweet tooth and reputable pastry lovers. This perfume is magnificent, magnetic, bewitching. And yet so homely! And even if you are not a lover of gourmet aromas, then you will surely like Chocolit Gridi. It will allow you to feel comfortable even on the streets of a metropolis with its frantic pace of life.
What pore is the fragrance created for?
At the expense of the time of year, there is no disagreement between buyers and the author of Montale Chocolate Greedy about this. In the reviews, consumers agree that perfumes are created for winter and late autumn. The colder it is on the street, the more beautiful the perfume sounds. And in the cold, he reveals simply delightfully. Vanilla, chocolate and coffee create such a warm atmosphere that you instantly forget how much you got cold and how wet your feet are. It’s like you are putting on a fluffy bathrobe and warm slippers, sitting in a chair by the fireplace and offering to treat yourself to coffee with chocolate chip cookies with an orange layer.
As for the time of day, then opinions were divided. Men believe that this is a daytime scent. Say, in the evenings you need to wear something more elaborate. But the ladies saw the potential of an aphrodisiac in Montale Chocolate Greedy. Maybe this is because chocolate contributes to the production of the hormone of happiness in the body? In this case, we know when to apply Chocolate Greedy from Montal to your wrist: when we are overcome by spleen and bad mood.
What to wear
In reviews of Montale Chocolate Greedy, buyers do not often stop there. Since this is a winter aroma, many people use perfumes on their outer clothing, because in the cold they sound the most beautiful. But many people, especially young ones, argue that the perfume also looks wonderful on casual casual clothes. It does not seem inappropriate on dresses for cocktail parties. If you are going on a romantic date, then all the more it is worth experiencing the magical effect of an incense aphrodisiac.
There are only a few situations where “Greedy Chocolate” will be out of place. These are cramped and hot-flooded rooms. Then the aroma will be stuffy, causing a headache. At a banquet where a large feast is planned, it is also not recommended to wear it. From the smells of all kinds of eating from others, and so the head goes round.
How aroma is revealed
Description Montale Chocolate Greedy is often accompanied by purely subjective evaluations. Someone did not hear chocolate at all, but only the smell of freshly baked muffin. This is because the skin of the fragrance carrier belongs to the hot type. Heat activates vanilla, which temporarily becomes the dominant. But this is a temporary effect. It is recommended to wait five to ten minutes. The sugary sweetness of the buns (and even, according to some reviews, the wafers with Nutella) will go away and a bitter, aristocratic fleur of coffee grounds flavored with amber orange jelly will appear.
But this is not just a sweet and pleasant composition. It can not be called "pretty." Indeed, along with vanilla-chocolate goodies, strict classic floral chords come out. The fragrance plays and shimmers all day. He does not acidify and does not give chemistry. But its facets are revealed very nice and iridescent.
Bottle
The typical volume for Montale Chocolate Greedy Eau de Parfum is 100 ml. The perfume bottle is standard for the entire Montal collection. It is a metal spray can. This packaging prevents sunlight from entering the fluid inside. Therefore, perfumes do not change their aroma over time. The corporate pendant “Montal” is attached to the spray lid in the form of an eight-pointed star with the logo of a fashion house.
The only thing that caused complaints and even bewilderment of customers was the color of the bottle. It would seem that the name of the perfume “Jealous Chocolate”, the perfume's belonging to the class of sweet aromas, should have inspired the creator to place his brainchild in a cylinder of a warmer and even hot shade - brown, like “Montal Wild Oud”, orange, like “Orange Color” or yellow, like Pure Gold. But instead, we see in front of us a bottle of metallic color, flickering coldly, like an operating scalpel.
Other characteristics
Eau de Parfum comes in different volumes. There are even Montale Chocolate Greedy probes on sale (2 milliliters). Users in the reviews strongly recommend purchasing it first. Unless you are an ardent fan of sweets, including chocolate, then you can immediately buy one hundred milliliters and enjoy without fear for the figure.
This aroma is not just persistent. He, as some users put it, is almost not killed. Spirits endure showering, and on things they are not afraid of even washing. The perfume has a long train, but pleasant and unobtrusive. Spirits are consumed very sparingly. One zilch is enough to smell all day. One more pleasant quality, however, inherent in all spirits from "Montal". The can cap is unscrewed. Therefore, you do not need to take a large bottle of Montale Chocolate Greedy edp 100 ml with you on a trip. You can pour perfumed water into another bottle.
How to distinguish a fake
Montal perfumes are very fashionable, and they are expensive, as for niche perfumes. Therefore, the market is awash with fakes. They clumsily copy the sweet composition of the original perfumes, and hold on to the skin for half an hour from the force. How to distinguish a fake? Original spirits have embossed letters on the box; this can be checked without printing the package, just by swiping it with your finger. By barcode: perfume manufacturer - France.
The can is also packed in a stylish cover made of high-quality fabric. It is sewn well, with even seams and no protruding threads. If you are holding a balloon, then look at the bottom. It should be slightly depressed. As we have already mentioned, the Montal perfume bottles are unscrewed. In this case, the neck of the bottle should be well stained.
General reviews
Of course, now you can’t meet the “Greedy Chocolate” on the shelves, which shocked the public in 2007. Montale Chocolate Greedy edp is currently on sale. But aroma fans who buy more than the first bottle claim that the perfumed water delivered to the conveyor has not become worse or simpler. She has not only the previous composition, but also the same stamina. Users warn: the loop of the perfume is strong and long, so do not overdo it with the application of perfume, especially if you are going to go to a cramped room or office.
The fragrance will appeal to all sweet tooth and coffee lovers. But it must be worn with care in the summer, because in the heat it can choke a little. On the owners of hot skin, perfumes are slightly modified. Vanilla is more pronounced, which is why the overall impression of the perfume is associated with Viennese pastries. This nuance should be considered. Buyers recommend buying a fragrance tester much better to check its quality without spending a lot of money.
