Have you worn Dulce Diablo?

Tell us how it opens, how it settles on your skin, how long it lasts and when you wear it.

  1. leodeluglio

    It hits hard with a potent, cheap-tasting chocolate that’s super gourmand and tough to handle at first, but after 10 minutes it settles into a very subtle dry cocoa and prune vibe. It’s a unique balance, slightly citrusy, perfect for cold days and special moments.

  2. leodeluglio

    The opening is a strong chocolate with currant, very gourmand and hard to wear. But after ten minutes it calms down a lot, leaving a subtle dry cacao and currant with a citrus touch, creating a unique balance ideal for special occasions and cold weather.

    • Chocolate

  3. Totally intoxicating. The first thing you notice is apricot with honey and sugar. The chocolate and liquor hit strong at the start but fade quickly. Very delicious, perfect for gourmand lovers, but you really have to love sweets. It’s heavily honeyed, intense, and with just 3 sprays, the projection is massive.

  4. Sulamita Dulce

    I got this as a decant from a purchase. Since I usually buy Dua Brand dupes, which are faithful to the original even in performance, I found ‘Dulce Diablo’ and it’s already on my wishlist. A tip for those who don’t want to pay the high price: Dua’s are extracts and cost max 50 euros. They generally also come with discount codes.

  5. Sgarci24

    I absolutely hated it; it’s a slap of sugar and fruit… some notes just don’t work together, there’s no harmony in the blend…

  6. Sgarci24

    I didn’t like it at all; it’s a blast of sugar and fruit… some notes don’t go well together and there’s no harmony in the blend…

  7. Lucky to have snagged a decant of this magic. It’s a tipsy, boozy, and fruity fragrance. Basically cognac paired with dried apricot, chocolate, and vanilla. I don’t detect the honey or patchouli. Given its high cost, which it definitely deserves, I can’t treat myself to it right now and I’m shouting to the universe for dupes of this masterpiece.

  8. Gourmand Bottle

    It’s a gorgeous gourmand with top-tier ingredients, very realistic. Right after spraying, it smells like cognac and chocolate bathing in apricots, then it settles into sweet, exquisite dried fruit. While it doesn’t have much sillage, its longevity surprised me: I wore it Saturday afternoon and could still smell it when I woke up Sunday. It’s worth it if you weigh the high price against the performance; maybe not entirely, but I snagged it at a good clearance price, so I feel compensated. Either way, it’s a beautiful, realistic, high-quality gourmand. P.S.: For those who hate patchouli, you won’t smell a thing.

  9. Gourmand Bottle

    Beautiful gourmand, the quality of the ingredients is surprising, very realistic. I get cognac and chocolate bathing the apricots at the start, then only the scent of the dried fruit remains, sweet and exquisite. Despite not having great sillage, I was surprised by its longevity; I used it Saturday afternoon and upon waking Sunday I could still detect remnants. It’s worth it if you weigh its high price against the performance. Maybe not so much, I got it in a sale at a great price, so I feel compensated. Anyway, it’s a gorgeous, realistic, high-quality gourmand. P.S.: for patchouli haters, you can rest easy, it’s not detectable at all.

  10. It’s a spectacular scent and, as expected, very gourmand. On me, it opens with a marked chocolate note, sweet and cheerful, nothing dark. Then those apricots join in with a divine honeyed touch. Nothing is exaggerated or loud; everything flows together perfectly and in just the right measure. An intoxicating aroma and one of the best in my collection. The sillage is wide and the longevity could be better on my skin, but it depends on everyone. No complaints whatsoever, I’m using it in winter and it’s like a cloud of well-being every time I wear it. It’s a very sensual potion, a narcotic sweetness bomb. It’s addictive! It doesn’t remind me of any other fragrance in its line or style. A masterpiece of modern perfumery that’s worth every penny.
