Lattafa Gourmand Choco Overdose

If you’ve ever wanted to smell like a chocolate fudge brownie, Choco Overdose is about as literal as it gets. It’s the darkest, richest bottle in Lattafa’s cupcake-shaped dessert range.

Dark chocolate fudge leads, deep and sweet. Cocoa powder and a cupcake accord soften it into something closer to a bakery, and the base of vanilla, caramel and benzoin keeps it glossy and warm for hours. The caramel works like chocolate sauce poured over the top.

Go easy on the sprayer. One spray is often enough, because the richness builds as it warms on your skin. Autumn, winter and late evenings suit it best.

It’s an Eau de Parfum in a 2.53 oz bottle topped with a little chocolate bar.

Craving more cocoa? Bharara Chocolate is a smoother, more polished chocolate scent, and Cookie Crave is the milk-and-biscuits member of the same set. Everything else from Lattafa is here.
