Sphinx Fragrances Chocolate Citronique is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2023. Chocolate Citronique opens with Chocolate, Vanilla, and Praline, settles into a heart of Orange and Hazelnut, and dries down to a base of Almond, Caramel, and Biscuit. Sphinx Fragrances's Chocolate Citronique carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This is a proper dessert in a bottle, polarising for its unapologetic gourmand blast. If you like smelling like a chocolate orange biscuit, it's a dream; if not, steer clear.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with its intensely gourmand and edible character, make it fantastic for casual wear and dates where a comforting, inviting scent is desired. However, it's generally too sweet and attention-grabbing for formal or office settings, and definitely not for sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine biting into a rich, decadent chocolate orange, with that initial burst of citrus giving way to a warm, nutty praline and hazelnut heart. It dries down to a comforting, edible base of sweet caramel and crunchy biscuit, with a lingering hint of creamy almond. A true gourmand journey.
