A bounty of chocolate coins! Dry cocoa and golden amber!

 

2011 Version - Wet, this scares me. It's like if the cardboard from the cocoapuffs (mentioned/and borrowed from above) got soaked in milk and cocoapuffs. And the cardboard is laying on the floor. In a corner. Alone.

The silver lining is that it definately goes more real-chocolate-y on me as it dries. Smooth. However I feel like there's some fruit in here? I'm possibly just confusing it with the amber (I mean yeah duh I am but it's what I'm getting from it) and unfortunately I hate chocolate + fruit. Pass! D:

2017 Version

 

Wet: the sweet chocolate is more dominant, in background there is the balsamic Amber.

 

Dry: as it drys, the Amber get in foreground, it is heavy and balsamic on my skin. I love it, since I love Amber! Now the chocolate is in the background, its bitterness is still detectable.

2017 version

This is the most comforting chocolate scent and reminds me so much of my beloved Dark Chocolate, Sandalwood, Amber and Nutmeg HG. It is a snuggly, long lasting, nonsweet chocolate. It has a bit of that evocative sensation that I am smelling my cat's fur, but it is not funky at all, but rather soothing. The amber develops with wear, with the chocolate stepping in the background, but never quite leaving (as it does in that yummy aforementioned HG!) Lovely!

In the bottle

Smells like sticking my head into a box of cocoa pebbles, plus maybe a little something more in the background.

 

Wet on skin

This smells a bit less like dry chocolate cereal and more like cocoa powder by itself once it's on my skin.

 

Dry on skin after 30 minutes

The amber gives this a softer, less foody edge the longer I wear this, but this is no doubt a CHOCOLATE scent. YUM. It doesn't change much, and it doesn't pretend to be something it's not.

 

Thoughts

This is a very well aged 2008 bottle. If you're on the fence about buying Gelt and you're afraid it might just be straight up foody chocolate, try it anyway, because this is borderline without going over the edge into overly foody chocolate
