I just got a new bottle of MX-135. It smells totally different than my tester. It’s a little acrid, in a “did the cat pee on this shirt before I ran it through the dryer? or am I just imagining something?” way, where the tester was overpoweringly sweet, and sorta coconutty. Burnt chocolatini…chocolate pee-ni… Has anyone else had this experience? Did I just get a tester that had an unusual scent? I fear it will need a cover scent.
Edited to add: not quite so obnoxious after dry down, and on the plus side, it doesn’t make me sneeze like the tester did.
They might be having another shortage on the chocolatini scent. I remember when I got my first tester of mx135 it kind of smelled like popurri or cheap air freshener, but my next one smelled like actual chocolate is supposed to smell, even though my friend still says it smells like rotten chocolate, and in the warmer weather the scent gets kind of musty on me too (though I’m pretty sure it’s just me b/c people don’t say I stink when I ask), don’t really know how to describe it. I love this mix but sometimes I wish it came in neroli or something
Neither of mine have smelled like actual chocolate…ah, a mystery. I’ve stopped looking over my shoulder for the source of cat pee, 20 minutes later, so maybe it’s just the wet molecules that smell bad.
I’ve got 2 or 3 things in chocolatini, including MX135. It’s not coconutty at all, although androtics does have a coconut scent option too (but MX135 only comes in chocolatini so I’m mystified by your bottle, lol).
chocolatini is chocolate, amaretto, boozy, pretty intense, diffusive, sweet. Not burnt, like Pink Sugar smells burnt. There’s nothing in this world that would “cover” chocolatini, I fear! Though other gourmandy perfumes would blend with it and maybe steer it in a slightly different direction.
Possibly your new bottle was freshly mixed and so the scent needed a few more days to calm down a bit? Fragrances do evolve and mellow in the bottle some over time …
I’m surmising that the heavy dose of multiple pheromones (kitchen sink blend is the phrase I’ve heard used!) NEEDED a big time scent to cover it, thus the choice of chocolatini. I don’t get any phero-bleedthrough at all in MX135 like I do with some of the neroli scented products.
Thanks, Tisha! I’m new to the site and have been perusing different topics and you are very knowledgeable. I got referred via google to your “Women’s Pheromone Guide.” IT’S AMAZING!!! THANK YOU!
My 'scent’iments exactly! I had a horrible time with this smell. There is one of my threads somewhere around here about it. Anyway, nothing covers it all. It overpowers absolutely everything and does not smell like chocolate, perhaps a little bit but smells like a mixture with something else. I also was hoping they would make this with Neroli. It’s a total bummer because I ended up having to send it back and really wanted to use this product.
I’m not sure how to insert this link but you can do a search for this for more info. Stinky Stinky Chocolatini!
I will mention this to Jasmin and see if she can check and see if all is going alright with the scent for this one. Chocolitini should be a dark chocolate almond smell. Its sort of reminds me of bakers chocolate with a bit more sweetness to it.
For me, I believe it is just personal preference, not anything wrong with the product itself. And now that you mentioned it, the almond might be the mix I smell except that it has this weird sweet smell. Who knows? I’m just going to start praying for Neroli MX135.
Great description of it. Thats exactly how mine smells. The scent is growning on me even though I wasnt a huge fan of it at first. I still sneeze everytime I put it on, my nose really reacts to it. But the results are too good to let that satnd i my way
My latest full size bottle is missing that boozy amaretto smell. Much closer to sweaty cocoa dusted feet in scent unfortunately. I fondly remember my sweet amaretto chocolatini to go whenever I apply the new bottle. Letting the bottle cure, shaking and hoping hasn’t fixed my issue with it. I am still thinking I will have to doctor the scent before I can be fully happy with it.
No I have cookie too. Both smell similar to me but cookie definitely has a butter/vanilla to it that mx135 doesn’t. On my skin cookie scent has no staying power.
The mx135 to go I have smells much sweeter with heavy amaretto, my full size is not sweet has very light if any amaretto and easily detectable pheromones. On my skin it turns a little rank.
I do have chocolatini instant openness and they match perfectly so it leaves me assuming my nose & chemistry are the problem but I didn’t have these issues with the to go size either.
Even though it smells somehow off to me it is effective as ever.
