French Avenue Chocola Addict Eau de Parfum is a 2025 unisex oriental gourmand fragrance built around a chocolate-and-citrus opening. It offers a darker, less overtly sweet take on the gourmand style.

What does Chocola Addict smell like?

The fragrance opens with chocolate, tangerine and amber, balancing sweetness with citrus brightness. The heart introduces incense and leather, adding a smoky, slightly dark edge, before settling into a base of vanilla and myrrh.

  • Top notes: Chocolate, tangerine, amber
  • Heart notes: Incense, leather
  • Base notes: Vanilla, myrrh

Performance and when to wear it

Performance is typically moderate to long-lasting on skin. The smoky, resinous base suits cooler weather and evening wear, while the citrus top keeps the opening from feeling too heavy.

Who is it for?

Chocola Addict suits anyone who enjoys gourmand fragrances but wants more smoke and leather than a purely sweet chocolate scent, making it a good pick for fans of darker gourmands.
