Among the main line (there is also a small collection of "Diamond") there are both men's and women's fragrances. But there are also a number of unisex perfumes. We will consider one of them today. This is Montale Chocolate Greedy. Reviews of eau de parfum, a description of its pyramid, bottle and other characteristics can be found in this article.
Gourmet fragrances
Perfume is now fashionable, in which some food products are dominant. Of course, not onions and garlic, and not eventhe smell of appetizing cracklings. But vanilla, apples baked with cinnamon, coffee and other goodies are now in trend. Among the flavors in the style of "gourmandise" chocolate occupies the most honorable place. After all, everyone likes it, well, with a few exceptions. Therefore, including chocolate in a perfume composition is a win-win option. Such perfumes immediately become bestsellers.
As an example, we can mention Choco Musk from Al-Rehab, Choco Violet from Mansera, Aphrodisiac Noir from Kilian and many others. What makes Montale Chocolate Greedy stand out among other chocolate flavors? In customer reviews, you can read that the uniqueness of the perfume lies in its name. The English word greedy has many meanings. The main one is "greedy". And indeed, once you drop this perfume on your wrist, you want to repeat it again and again. Well, unlike real chocolate, the passion for perfume does not lead to obesity! The second, less common, but rather slang meaning of the word greedy is "jealous." And this is also true. There are other ingredients in the composition, but chocolate wants you to appreciate and love only it.
Chocolate Greedy Montale: manufacturer description
Perfumer Pierre Montal came up with this composition not the first, and not the last. She appeared in 2007, when gourmandise fragrances were especially fashionable. But now eleven years have passed, and "Chokolit Greedy" does not leave the first positions in the sales of perfumes of the Montale house. Maybe the demand for chocolate remains relevant? No, rather, users are fascinated by the wonderfulperfume composition. After all, sweets are accompanied by no less “tasty” ingredients. Rather, chocolate takes the stage like a disco star at a gala concert, that is, after warming up the audience by lesser-known performers.
So, the author wove the top notes of the composition from Madagascar vanilla, Tonka beans and vetiver. At the heart of the perfume Montal placed a bitter Moroccan orange, slightly flavored with jasmine flowers. And now, finally, he is speaking - His Majesty chocolate. It is not cloying, milky, but rather bitter, black. Coffee and dried fruits show through hand in hand with chocolate.
Description of Montale Chocolate Greedy according to users
As is often the case in the world of perfumery, customers hear the line quite differently. As users assure, chocolate is already felt in the overture, from the very first seconds of the test. This is not a tile, and not a hot drink, but rather dry cocoa powder, with a characteristic bitter aftertaste. But sweet vanilla comes through along with it, so the first impression of the perfume composition is very pleasant.
Tonka beans make the top notes more sophisticated. The effect of the bittersweet duet will not have time to dissipate, as you feel the aroma of citrus fruits. The author of the composition, Pierre Montal, claims that he included bitter orange in the list of ingredients. But customers object that this is more of a citrus jam than a fresh fruit. Many users felt the aroma of freshly ground elite coffee beans in the composition. The drink is flavored with smoke from dried fruits. Here's what users don'tNoticed it's vetiver and jasmine. Perhaps the author of Montale Chocolate Greedy skillfully hid the flowers among the Gourmandise fragrances.

In front of you on the table, where there is a vase with a bouquet of jasmine, a wonderful treat is served. Namely, a cup of steaming coffee (some say it's espresso, others say it's Viennese).
What kind of dessert goes with a drink? This is not ordinary chocolate - in the form of sweets or bars. This is a delicious pastry that melts in your mouth like a Viennese sacher cake, fragrant with vanilla and orange jam.

For what pore is the fragrance created
At the expense of the season, there is no disagreement between buyers and the author of Montale Chocolate Greedy. In reviews, consumers agree that perfumes are made for winter and late autumn.

It’s as if you are being put on a fluffy bathrobe and warm house slippers, seated in a chair by the fireplace and offered to treat yourself to coffee with chocolate chip cookies with an orange layer.

In this case, we know when to apply Montal's Chocolate Greedy on the wrist: when we are overcome byspleen and bad mood.
What to wear
In reviews of Montale Chocolate Greedy, buyers do not often dwell on this issue. Since this is a winter fragrance, many people wear perfume on outerwear, because in the cold they sound the most beautiful. But many people, especially young people, say that perfume also looks great on casual clothes. It will not seem out of place on dresses for cocktail parties. If you are going on a romantic date, then it is all the more worth experiencing the magical effect of a fragrant aphrodisiac.
There are only a few situations where "Greedy Chocolate" will be out of place. These are cramped and hot rooms. Then the aroma will be stuffy, causing a headache. At a banquet where a plentiful feast is planned, it is also not recommended to wear it. From the smells of all kinds of food from others, and so the head will spin.
How the fragrance unfolds
Description of Montale Chocolate Greedy is often accompanied by purely subjective assessments. Someone did not hear chocolate at all, but only the smell of freshly baked muffins. This is because the scent carrier's skin is of the hot type. The heat activates the vanilla, which becomes dominant for a while. But this is a temporary effect. It is recommended to wait five to ten minutes. The sugary sweetness of buns (and even, according to some reviews, waffles with Nutella) will go away, and a bitter, aristocratic flavor of coffee grounds, flavored with amber, will appear.orange jelly.
But this is not just a sweet and pleasant composition. You can't call her "cute". Indeed, along with vanilla-chocolate goodies, strict classic floral chords appear. The fragrance plays and shimmers all day. It does not sour and does not give chemistry. But its facets are revealed in a very cute and iridescent way.
Vialon
The usual volume in which Montale Chocolate Greedy eau de parfum is produced is 100 ml. The perfume bottle is standard for the entire Montal collection. It is a metal spray can. This packaging prevents sunlight from reaching the liquid contained inside. Therefore, perfumes do not change their aroma over time. Attached to the cap of the spray bottle is a branded pendant "Montal" in the form of an eight-pointed star with the logo of the fashion house.
The only thing that caused criticism and even bewilderment of buyers was the color of the bottle. It would seem that the name of the perfume "Jealous Chocolate", the perfume's belonging to the class of sweet aromas, should have inspired the creator to place his offspring in a bottle of a warmer and even hotter shade - brown, like "Montal Wild Oud", orange, like "Orange Blossom" or yellow, like "Pure Gold". But instead we see a metallic bottle in front of us, coldly shimmering like a surgical scalpel.

The bottle cap is unscrewed. Therefore, you do not need to take a large bottle of Montale Chocolate Greedy edp 100 ml with you on a trip. You can pour the Eau de Parfum into another bottle.
How to spot a fake
Montal perfumes are very fashionable, and they are expensive, as for niche perfumes. Therefore, the market is flooded with fakes. They clumsily copy the sweet composition of the original perfume, and stay on the skin for half an hour at most. How to distinguish a fake? The original perfumes have embossed letters on the box, this can be checked without opening the package, simply by swiping your finger over it.

General reviews
Of course, now you will not find on the shelves that "Greedy Chocolate" that so shocked the public in 2007. Now on sale is Montale Chocolate Greedy edp. But fans of the fragrance, who have been buying more than the first bottle, assure that the eau de parfum put on the conveyor has not become worse or simpler. She not only has the same composition, but also the same durability. Users warn: the sillage of the perfume is strong and long-lasting, so do not overdo it with the application of perfume, especially if you are going to go to a cramped room or office.
The aroma will appeal to all sweet tooth and coffee lovers. But it should be worn with caution in the summer, because in the heat it can be a little suffocating. On owners of hot skin, perfumes are slightly modified. Vanilla comes out more clearly, which is why the overall impression of the perfume is associated with Viennese pastries. This nuance should be taken into account. Much better, buyers recommend, is to get a scent tester to check its quality without spending a lot of money.
