Mocha Wood EDP 100ml by Fragrance World

First impression on opening the box is that the label is barely legible. I have to turn bottle at an angle for the light to hit it just right to be able to read label on bottle. Cap is not tight so be careful when picking up the bottle. The scent is a 10 out of 10! The Coffee note is up front but it is a creamy coffee scent, kinda like a Starbucks coffee. I get whiffs of the hazelnut and some of the saffron, then comes the amazing Rose and Tonka, i don't get very much of a noticeable Tobacco but I do get the Sandlewood. The drydown should smell like Indian Oud, Balsam Fir, Gaiac Wood and Benzoin but I still smell the Top and Middle notes more with the Base notes coming in slightly in the background. On my skin the scent is noticeable at 4 feet for about 4 hours the about 2 feet for another 4 hours. It is a skin scent after 8 hours but still noticeable after 12 hours. I think I have found my Fall-Winter scent!!!

I bought this for myself, I don't really get alot of the coffee/chocolate aspect people are talking about in this fragrance. So if that's what you're looking for, well, I got words for you. To me, Mocha Wood smells like a very prominent mature rose mixed with dark, smooth woods and a touch of sweetness. It has a deep, slightly mysterious vibe going on with it, kind of like how an old, abandoned church might smell. There’s a sense of aged wood, faded floral notes, and a quiet sweetness that softens the darkness without making it feel too warm, though I'd still recommend this more for cooler weather than anything. It is pretty feminine leaning imo, but I can see a man wearing it possibly. On my skin this has decent longevity, about 6+ hours, the sillage is around the arms length. Honestly, for the price this is insanely good, and I'm happy with it.

I really didn't like my bottle at first. I wanted to, but some notes were fleeting and others were too prominent, so I stuck it in the cabinet for a month or two , sprayed it out of curiosity and holy goodness came out. Tobacco, rose, vanilla, saffron, and coffee filled the room. The frag-community say this is a clone of Hero by Boadicea the Victorious which does cost $495 a bottle. This stuff smells great and it is nuclear, so do everyone a favor and go easy on the sprays. 2-4 sprays on the hotspots will provide a 3-5 foot sillage bubble for a few hours and the scent sticks around an easy 8 hours on skin and indefinitely on clothes. This is not a run of the mill big-box cologne...It takes some getting used to. If you aren't used to middle eastern style fragrances you might think you've made a mistake at first. I, personally, wasn't ready for the rose and oud notes at first. I thought it smelled a bit feminine, but over time it will grow on you, and women seem to like it when I wear it out to the bar. Maybe because I don't smell like the all the guys wearing Sauvage and Eros. I suggest that get this, let it mature for several weeks, and live with it at home a few sprays at a time for a few months until the scent becomes familiar to you. Once you are familiar you will feel much more confident rocking it in public. Fragrance World hit this one out of the park. If it were more expensive I wouldn't suggest blind buying this, but it's only $20 at the time of this review. I might buy a backup bottle, or two, just incase it doesn't stick around.

If you like the smell of roses you’ll love this cause that’s pretty much all this smells like roses with a hint of chocolate it’s very strong and long lasting very sweet this is extremely feminine don’t let them lie to you.

I have no idea what this is supposed to be a dupe of but it smells pretty good. It's boozy and chocolatey and almost has a rose scene to me. I would describe this as Angel's Share with chocolate-covered rose petals added. Projection isn't the strongest, maybe a little bit in the first 2 hours. From 2-6 hours you can still smell it in your little personal bubble but definitely won't be projecting out to the room. At 8hrs you can still smell it faintly on the skin and a little stronger on clothing. This would be a pretty good evening/cold-weather scent if you like the smell. For $20 there's not much to complain about.

I was not expecting this good, I do not regret this purchase, great quality and smell

Not a great scent and honestly not wearable. Good room spray though. Smells like synthetic coffee.

If you love roses and chocolate- you’ll enjoy this. This is one of my most beautiful rose/chocolate middle eastern fragrances. It’s sweet, chocolaty and fresh. I bought this after someone said it was a dupe for Móntale Ristretto Intense Café- which I own and compared them side by side. Móntale is much more gourmand - Mocha Wood is not so much because of that freshness. I love it though and decided to keep this one, it definitely is worth keeping in your collection. Projection is impecable, durability not so much. This faded rather quickly on me - 3-4 hrs. Still a keeper in my book.

What an incredible fragrance! This is truly a unisex scent smells amazing on both my husband and myself. Only wish it was longer lasting

I love it Try it and thank me later

This perfume gets me compliments every single day! Insanely perfect and certainly value for money

Aroma intenso
