The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2016 by Mancera, Choco Violette is an Oriental Vanilla fragrance crafted by Pierre Montale. This composition opens with the nutty warmth of hazelnut and bergamot before transitioning to a heart of violet and dark chocolate. The base notes of Madagascar vanilla and white musk provide a warm, spicy finish that lingers on the skin. Choco Violette is a unisex fragrance that balances sweet and powdery accords with woody depth, creating an inviting and sophisticated aroma.

How to wear it

For optimal wear, apply Choco Violette to pulse points for a warm embrace that lasts throughout the day. The sweet notes fade after an hour, so reapply for a continuous aroma. This fragrance reads better close to skin than across a room.
