Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Guilty Pleasures EDP
This one's a decadent, grown-up gourmand that promises to make you smell utterly edible. It's a dark, boozy chocolate delight with a warm embrace, perfect for those who want to project luxurious confidence without being sickly sweet.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Cacao Dreams Original Creation EDP
Cacao Dreams is Alexandria UK's own house gourmand rather than a dupe of any single designer scent - a straightforward dark-and-milk-chocolate opening over a praline-hazelnut heart and a vanilla-musk base, closer to a comforting dessert accord than a nuanced fine fragrance, and best judged on its own indulgent terms.

Its rich, gourmand nature and strong sillage make it unsuitable for an office setting, but it truly shines on a date or formal evening out where its luxurious warmth can be appreciated. While it's a bit much for everyday casual wear, a confident individual could pull it off.
