The chocolate perfumes that are better than eggs for gifting this Easter

Easter is fast approaching, and while it’s tempting to stock up on chocolate eggs, tempting though they may be, for many people an edible gift is just a few thousand calories they can do without this Easter.

A cute idea in lieu of a chocolate egg this Easter is to keep the chocolate theme, but go for a perfume gift instead, with many favourite scents using notes of cocoa as their main theme.

A decadent, yet calorie-free gift, chocolate notes make for a luxurious, lasting scent – and even if you’re not aware of it straight away, once you know it’s in there, it’s obvious that your perfume has that sweet, unmistakeable aroma that most of us love (and love to eat).

So which perfumes feature chocolate notes? And what exactly does chocolate smell like?

You’re looking for what is described as a “deep and rich gourmand note with a bitter payoff, yet delectably sweet” – hard to describe in words, but most of us will know it when we smell it.

Here are our favourite chocolate based perfumes:
