Lorenzo Pazzaglia Choco Raptor is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Lorenzo Pazzaglia. Choco Raptor opens with Anise, Chocolate, Bergamot, and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Davana, White Chocolate, Almond Blossom, and Cedar, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Musk, Leather, and Amber. Lorenzo Pazzaglia's Choco Raptor carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Choco Raptor is a divisive beast, a love-it-or-hate-it affair that promises chocolate but delivers a dark, woody, and intensely masculine experience. It's not for the faint-hearted.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Choco Raptor blasts off with an intriguing mix of sharp anise, ginger, and bergamot, hinting at a darker complexity beneath. The heart reveals a rich, unsweetened chocolate and white chocolate accord, intertwined with earthy patchouli and dry cedar. As it dries, a powerful base of leathery oud, smoky woods, and a hint of creamy vanilla emerges, leaving a bold, almost animalic trail.
