Which Should You Buy?
Divisive, unique, and utterly gourmand, Choco Violette is a hazelnut-chocolate-violet bomb that either delights or disgusts. A true love-it-or-hate-it scent, it commits fully to its unusual blend.
Heraud is a divisive gourmand. Either it's a perfectly balanced, realistic chocolate and dried fruit dream, or it's a synthetic, dusty, chalky concoction that's far too sweet for its own good. An acquired taste with a loyal following, but definitely try before you buy.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its potent projection and intense gourmand character make it a poor fit for the office or formal events. However, the warm, comforting sweetness, described repeatedly as 'delicious' and 'inviting' by lovers, makes it perfect for dates and casual wear, especially in colder weather where its strength is appreciated.

Occasions
