I’m a Compliment Magnet Every Time I Wear These Chocolate Perfumes

Can perfumes get Oscars and Grammys, too? Like its celebrated creator, this ambery gourmand—which layers vanilla, spices, and cocoa with sugared petals, woods, and musks—has a nearly universal appeal. (What was it made for? For everyone to fall in love with.) More warming and spicy than sweet, the addictive perfume is a fixture of my wintertime scent collection—but I have evidence that it works for summer, too.

Key notes: Sugared petals, mandarin, berries, vanilla, soft spices, cocoa, sleek musks, warm woods, tonka beans

Sizes: 0.33 oz, 1.0 oz, 1.7 oz, 3.4 oz

An ELLE contributor says: “At Lollapalooza in August, I tracked down a cutely dressed festival-goer to ask her what she was wearing, since her fragrance left such an intriguing trail. It was this one, and apparently, the scent smells a little different on everyone, since I didn’t even recognize it on my new, music-loving friend. Spritz it on, make it your own, and don’t be surprised if people start chasing you down, too.”—Jenny Berg, contributing beauty writer
