Our Verdict

Chocolate Greedy and Cacao Lover share a strong resemblance, but subtle differences exist. Montale's creation leans into a richer, more gourmand experience, with a polarizing chocolate-orange accord. Perfume Parlour's dupe offers a similar profile focused on vanilla and cacao, but at a budget price. The longevity and intensity differ, with Chocolate Greedy performing stronger. If you're seeking the intensity of a luxury gourmand, Montale wins. If you want a more subtle, budget-friendly alternative, Cacao Lover is a great option.

Our Verdict - Chocolate Greedy EDP
This one sparks strong opinions. For some, it's a photorealistic hit of chocolate orange, a warm embrace in a bottle. For others, it's a rancid, synthetic mess. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but if the stars align, you'll be smelling like a delicious baked good.

Our Verdict - Cacao Lover EDP
A budget Perfume Parlour interpretation of Montale Chocolate Greedy (2007) by Pierre Montale - the vanilla-led composition with citrus, cacao pod and woody as the canonical signature. Honest dupe-fidelity at PP's budget price point.
