Montale Chocolate Greedy
Rich cocoa powder, candied bitter orange, freshly roasted coffee, and creamy bourbon vanilla: the mouthwatering aroma of a Parisian bakery at opening.
Created in 2007 by Pierre Montale, Chocolate Greedy has achieved legendary status among gourmand lovers for its uncanny realism. The scent opens with a faint kiss of bitter orange peel and dried fruit that quickly surrenders to a luxurious explosion of dry, powdered dark cocoa and roasted coffee beans. It evokes warm, buttery chocolate chip cookies freshly pulled from the oven. In the drydown, rich bourbon vanilla and tonka bean meld with gentle amber, leaving an addictive, skin-clinging aura of cozy confectionery that lingers effortlessly from dawn to dusk.
