Do you love woodsy scents? How about spicy? Leathery with a hint of tropical night blooming flowers? Slightly on the masculine side of the spectrum? If this is you, then you will probably love this as much as I do. It smells like a quiet night in front of the fireplace in damp, grey, late November with a cup of dark cocoa that's been augmented by a splash of Kahlua. This one goes in the Buy-A-Big-Bottle queue.

For some reason this scent left kind of a old lady smell and a little too much musk. With my body chemistry it didn’t really work well. But I can see why other people do love it. Just did not work on me.

I really enjoyed this scent, it has the sweet smell of the cocoa but its underlying notes are very sophisticated. It reminds me of date night at an island beach. I love that it's not and extremely aggressive scent after applied which makes it suitable to wear just about anywhere. Definitely worth trying.

This scent made a strong impression on me, to the point where it would pop into my mind and I’d have to steal a spritz. The cocoa and sequoia are the main players but sandalwood made everything a little softer I think. One of the best things I’ve smelled in a long time

I don’t like smelling like food, so I was a bit worried about this one. But I like Nest, sooooo. It’s not dessert. Instead, it’s spicy & woodsy, but still floral & feminine. Lasts a long time on me & gets me compliments. Another Nest winner!

I think I might have really enjoyed this but at the very first spray it had that unmistakeable rancid smell of perfume that has gotten too old and gone bad. I could smell the woody, chocolate notes "underneath" the acrid chemical smell so I cleaned the sprayer thinking maybe that was the problem. It wasn't. I was so very disappointed after having waited nearly two months for this to arrive to receive it in this condition. This was why I cancelled my membership.

A little bold and woodsy but I really enjoy the scent.

Very bold smell.

I was sent Citrine from Nest Frangences instead of the Coco Woods. I am bummed because I did not like the Citrine and was looking forward to the Coco Woods.

The-scent is beautiful but the bottle was busted could not use

This was just too spicy for me. My body chemistry often changes scents and they smell sompletely different on me after a while. This didnt alter much but it was just spicy. My mom said it was too masculine for me but I just wasnt impressed. Still looking for a sexy mysterious woodsy scent thst I like on me.

Beautiful soft warm scent

Was not a fan. Didnt like the after smell

the perfume was to strong of a wood's smell

My skin chemistry is so bad about turning chocolate notes to straight Tootsie Rolls whenever I wear them, so I was kind of happy when the cocoa in this one floated off pretty quickly in my wearing of it. The major player on my skin is the Tiare flower with the wood notes keeping things well grounded. It’s a lovely fragrance that I think will work much better in the cooler months.

Couldn’t put my finger on why but just not my type

I enjoy this perfume I plan on buying a bigger bottle

Ewww just no lol at first spray I got a strong dark chocolate but after a few seconds nothing was left except a very woodsy masculine scent. Nothing like I was expecting at all

This is so woodsy and masculine smelling that I wasn’t sure how it would smell on my skin but i get more compliments than any other perfume I’ve ever worn!

This smelled like straight up patchouli, and not much else.

This doesn’t remind me of the notes it says at all. Smelled like old lady and was horrible.

I’ve loved every fragrance I’ve received so far, but this one is the best of all. It’s a soft, sweet fragrance that lasts most of the day. Truth be told, I reapply just because I love it so much. It is more cocoa-sweet than woodsy, but definitely a winner!

I check the main notes and personality etc ratings... and each one I have chosen has not matched up to what I was looking for... to floral for the most part. This is not a rating specific to just this selection, but all of then I have received so far.

Not sugary sweet at all, but very sophisticated. Loved the chocolate notes. Yet it is so different. I would buy again.

Was complimented a few times wearing it and I loved the woodsy notes

At first i really liked it. And I’m still wearing it. It has a warm chocolate scent very woodsy. But then as i keep smelling it, it begins to smell very much like alcohol. Like imagine spraying yourself with homemade Baileys... that’s it. But i want to finish the sample soooo I’m still wearing it. It does wear off VERY quickly though. I’m starting to realize maybe these scents are not my fave. Hmm

This to me, is devoid of its descriptors. No cocoa. No woods. It's got a dry slightly chalky/dusty vetiver type smell amplified with a lackluster bomb of patchouli. Sometimes patch can evoke chocolate/cocoa. Not this. This is medicinal and cold. I was severely disappointed with this one! I'm grateful that getting this on Scentbird allowed me to sample and I did not rush in and blind buy this as a full bottle.

Not for me. I didn't smell any chocolate or Woods, I just smelled old lady and a sour dirty note. Definitely not something I want on my skin. Even my fiance wrinkled his nose and shook his head, the dry down may have been better but the top notes are so strong and distasteful to me that I couldn't leave it on to find out!

This definitely has a hint of chocolate and I love this fragrance! I put it on every single day. I've never worn something like this and it gives me a sexy confidence with it on. This was my first scentbird fragrance and I've now been through 7 samples and the others don't compare at all. I'm going to purchase it for sure.

Imagine chocolate, but with a little spice to it. Like Haitian chokola... it’s the perfect blend! I could never get tired of this scent.... I just want to smell it all day!!! There is not much projection and it doesn’t have longevity but it is perfect for those moments when there is lot of close contact. Flirty, alluring, and delicious!

It really smells like the woods in a musky way.

I was excited to try this one. A few spritzes and suddenly I’m surrounded by the scent of little old ladies. Yeah, no. This one is not a keeper.

Initials spray a were such a surprise but was almost official putting. But then immediate dry down was smoky, rich, and warm.

This fragrance has a strong boozy smell when first applied. Let sit on your skin, and then enjoy the sweet chocolate notes.

This scent just did not work well with my body chemistry... It is very strong and smelled too mature for me, I gave it to my grandma.

Not really what I had hoped for the scent is off putting to me and while the dry down is a little better it's just not great or anything I really want to wear.

I personally love this scent. Its warmth! I love wearing it to bed as it relaxes me!

Easy scent to wear daily. Wears well but strong enough for the evening too.

Definitely an evening perfume. Has a wonderful warm alluring scent. Can definitely pick up on the chocolate.

Ok so the fragrance is in the name. It definitely has a strong woodsy smell, after a while it fades and the scent is actualky nit half bad. It lasts for a pretty long while.

It smells great going on, but fades way to soon. Did enjoy the cocoa woods smell though.

I really like this woodsy smell

It smelled odd, almost a musty smell. Definitely not a fan.

I love the woodsiness of this fragrance. Might be more of a fall scent for me. It is interesting and have been asked about what I'm wearing.

Gave me a horrible headache. Smells terrible.

My favorite perfume so far. Perfectly warm and woodsy. Stays on my skin so I get wiffs of it all day!

LOVE it!!!

I absolutely love this scent! At first I thought it was too strong but after about 5 minutes a faded into a softer more seductive scent. My husband hardly ever notices my perfumes but he loves this one! He called it "my sexy perfume". Its a very romantic scent with a hint of chocolate (sounds weird but I promise you will love it). You can smell the both the cocoa and the woods in this romantic perfume. Perfect scent for date night!

I do love Nest EDPs. They are unique scents & the lasting power is nice on skin and clothes. This one, however, was horrible for me. I was so excited when it came out that i blind bought a rollerball becuse the notes are right up my alley. I literally got none of what i was expecting upon first sniff in the air and i hated it. I still tried it on my skin, hoping it would smell bette and it turned my stomach every time I tried wearing it. I see how some people would like it but it isnt for me. Seemed to have thr typical stayimg power of their fragrances, which is awesome if you like it but it was hell for me lol

The perfect cozy and clean scent. The sandalwood and ginger are the perfect team! It lasted about 5 hours on my wrist but I can still smell it on my shirt 12 hours later. I will buy this again for sure.

Starts strong and a bit too strong on the patchouli note but settles nicely

Great, rich scent, but should be used sparingly because it starts very strong. If you apply it in the morning and want to continue with it into the evening, you will want to reapply.

no staying power.... smells good when first applying.... after that nothing....

I was hoping to smell like chocolate. The first sniff is nice, the second, chocolate but after that it smells similar to "Mmmmm" by Jullet Has A Gun, which I have and love but I want to smell like chocolate and this doesn't do it 🙁

Very strong.

Definitely not something for me. I don’t even know what tone it was that I didn’t like. It just smelled awful.

Love the scent right away and it was just strong enough to last all day without overpowering me.

It has a nice classy smell to it but it’s a little more on the spicy side than I care for. I would definitely wear it to an elegant occasion or a dinner date.

I like this fragrance but you smell like you dipped yourself in Hershey's chocolate when you first put it on. Once it settles it's nice though.

Love this one. It's a chocolate creamy deliciousness but has some cleaness to it. Would consider it office appropriate and definitely not sugur kid sweet frag either.

Slightly musky with definite cocoa scent. I get so many compliments!

Smells like my cedar chest.

This fragrance is for someone of a more mature age. It's very musky. Doesn't have a sweet smell even after it has settled. Will not be purchasing.

I liked this fragrance, but I didn't love it. Now I know if has Cocoa in the name....but it was a bit too much "chocolate" scent for me. Other than that .....It was nice.

I really wanted to love this scent. But it’s not an everyday wear. Top notes of chocolate with a strong wood/cigar smell. I would probably wear this if I was going to a casino. If you like cigar, woodsy scents this is for you!

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I love this sexy deep fragrance but it doesn't stay on me for even 15 minutes. This is my first Nest perfume choice but me and my husband couldn't smell it even when i sprayed it directly on my wrist.

This scent does in fact smell somewhat like cocoa initially (more like a rich cocoa, not sweet), that then ends up drying down to a woodsy/musky scent. the staying power is decent - It lasts through a workday (6-8 hours), and the scent is not overpowering or too much at any point. I'm considering buying the full size version.

I think this is one of those perfumes that smell different on different people. At first spray the smell has a chocolate scent that I was not liking. But after a few minutes it settled and gave me a nice woodsy powdery scent. On me it was not over powering at all. I really like it.

Very rustic scent. Has some hints of floral, woodsy . I find this to be a great scent for fall and winter

My first impression when initially sprayed is that it smells like Count Chocula cereal, strong of the cocoa and really sweet like the marshmallows. But that initial scent fades quite quickly and mellows out into a slightly spicy woody fragrance. At first I was afraid it leaned a bit more masculine for me but again that layer fades to a beautiful warm softer scent. I’ve never had a fragrance that I truly feel should be worn primarily in a certain season but I feel Cocoa Woods is definitely a winter scent. It is a closer to the skin scent with a fair longevity of around 4 hours before needing to be refreshed. I like it but I don’t love it enough to buy a full size bottle.

I love sweet warm fragrances and this rocks! Not too sugary! Dries down musky. Live!

I love the smell of this but be careful! The scent is strong! You can definitely smell the chocolate. I got compliments from two complete strangers the first time I wore it.

Although this isn't a love for me, I really liked it! I found it soft, sweet, and comforting. The cocoa is pronounced, but the wood notes keep it grounded and from smelling like a brownie. The longevity could certainly be better, and it stays pretty close to the skin. Otherwise, I found it to be lovely.

This gave me “old lady” perfume vibes. It was waaaay too strong.

Amazing!

I thought this would be a cozy gourmand fragrance, but it’s too woody and spicy for me. It’s an interesting scent, but I don’t want it on my skin.

First spray was very, very chocolatey- overwhelmingly so. As it wore longer on my skin, it became subtle, but I was hoping for a deeper, woodier scent. It reminded me of Ovaltine. It was a little strong for work, but nice for a cold day off.

I thought the notes would blend well on me, I ended up smelling like my mother. However, my 15 year old daughter smelled amazing in it. Pheromones are funny things.

Smells a little too deep for me. I like the smell of cocoa but this scent smells like chemicals.

Really nice

I enjoyed this scent and will probably wear it till it's gone, but I would not order again, because there are other scents that I feel incorporate cocoa more subtly. With that said, this is a nice fall/winter scent, definitely unisex. Leans pretty single-ingredient to my nose. It seems to me to be average in how long it lasts--it is definitely not short-lived, which is always frustrating when you like something.

The scent is fresh with a hint of cocoa. I personally enjoy it! Last throughout the day- I can still smell it when I change into my pajamas at the end of day. It is not over powering - in my opinion. Very nice!

Great scent.Very strong, lasts all day. Great for date night.

I expected more of a cocoa smell to this scent. This scent smells like very heavy flowers. A very, very much older or mature scent. This is definitely not a scent I would recommend to anyone seeking a sweet or cocoa smelling fragrance.

I absolutely love this! It smells amazing.

This is way more wood than chocolate and wears light and close to the skin, which is honestly how I like my fragrances. Definitely 'dry' vs. 'sweet', and layers well some other dark chocolate scents I have on hand. (this takes Dame's Chocolate Man to a whole 'nother plane of awesome) The tiare comes out in the drydown and loses the chocolate almost completely, going borderline floral with it on some days.

A little too strong for my liking. Does not smell like chocolate as I expected. Very disappointed.

There is definitely notes of cocoa/chocolate and its a very different smell than I have ever tried but oddly enough I love it! I received multiple compliments on it at work. It is definitely a fall/winter scent, woodsy and I mean it really does kind of smell like cocoa lol but in a good different kind of way. It lasted most of the day and went well with my body chemistry. I will be trying more Nest fragrances soon!

Terrible scent wasn’t for me at all. Gave it to someone else who may enjoy it more

It smelled pretty good but it took a little time for me to get used to. Not really my type of scent.

If you are a fan of: REPLICA's "By the Fireplace", ELIZABETH & JAMES "Bourbon", THIERRY MUGLER "Angel Muse" or like woody fragrances, you will enjoy this. I finished my sample and just have to get the full bottle because this is the best "grown-up chocolate" perfume I have ever tried! This is drinking dark hot chocolate in a lumber shop or right next to a fireplace before the wood is lit. On my skin this is just delicious and sexy and lasts all day without being overpowering. I do not want winter to be over so I could keep wearing this!

Woody scents always smell pretty great on me so that is mainly the reason why I chose this one. At first you can really smell the chocolate but it's not sweet or overpowering. It's more like a dark chocolate if I had to describe it. Once it dries, it has a very warm, woody scent. I really do love this perfume and I am glad that I picked it.

At first I thought I was really going to hate this because when you first spray it on it is VERY chocolate-y and I'm not a fan of chocolate scented things. However, not long after first applying it the chocolate smell cooled down and I ended up really enjoying it and finding it worked really well with my body chemistry

I love the warmth of this scent! It reminds me of hot cocoa after playing in the snow. Super fun scent.

This scent goes on VERY chocolatey and dries down to a warmer, more woody/spicy/slightly floral scent. It has great lasting power and smells amazing throughout the day.

Smells like spiced, woodsy (slightly bitter) dark chocolate when first sprayed, but the chocolate wears off within a few minutes and it is just warm, spiced woods. Very cozy and comforting, without being sugary sweet. Slightly masculine so don't expect to smell like a sugary mug of hot cocoa. You'll love it if you tend to like unisex fragrances, which I do.

Smells clean and sexy my favorite so far

I love this scent once it dries down but when first sprayed it's very harsh and I can't pinpoint a distinct note. It's kind of a cozy and mature scent and I like that it lingers on my skin. It's love hate every time I spray it. I might buy the travel size but probably not the full size.

I actually really like this scent once I let it absorb into my skin. It's floral, chocolatey, musky and warm. I can definitely wear this during the day to work and make it work for a night out. I'm not obsessed with this scent, but it's in my rotation.

I didn't care for this the first time I wore it. The notes were harsh and discordant and I didn't get any cocoa or depth, just a sour-sharp opening I thought was bergamot (must be the sequoia and ginger) and syrupy tiare. It was a complete turn-off. So I set it aside to give away. However, I kept thinking about it and finally decided to spritz it on before bed one night about a month later, and that time I loved it. I think the difference was weather and temperature. This is absolutely a cold-weather scent on my finicky skin, which has a tendency to turn musky and woody fragrances animalic and nauseating in hot weather. The harsh woodsy opening notes smooth out, and the tiare flower loses some of its sickly sweetness. I also get an earthy note that must be the cocoa, even though I can't identify it as such. After 2-3 hours I'm left with a light fragrance that evokes the pleasant memory of walking over a carpet of dry pine needles in the woods on a crisp late-fall day. I will say this is not a fragrance with great depth, sillage, or lasting power. It needs to be reapplied every 4 hours at least. And try as I might, I still can't grasp the cocoa note in this one. Imagine a woman wearing Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Eau Fraiche hugging a man wearing a one-dimensional woodsy cologne. The resulting combination that lingers on each wearer's skin for the next half or or so would be Cocoa Woods. The notes are still rather discordant, but somehow on a dry cold day it works. Overall not one I'd purchase in full size, but I can see myself revisiting the sample on a dry winter day.

I found the scent to be a bit too chocolate-y for my taste. The dry down took away some of the chocolate, but still not my favorite.

This scent is so captivating! Warm and rich. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars—it fades quickly. I wish this lovely scent lasted longer.

Definitely don't need a lot. Smells better as it settles. Get a bottle hint of forr chocolate scent then.

I definitely tend to like rich, dark notes in my perfumes. This Nest one doesn't disappoint. It smells exactly how you probably think it does - woody undertone with a sweet, chocolate aroma. It's more on the masculine side so if you're looking for something feminine, i wouldn't get this. However, if you want a mysterious scent that leaves an impression, this is it.

It smells amazing and just keeps getting better the longer you have it on!

This has a very unique smell but I really don't prefer it.

It’s a very holiday smell. At the beginning it smells like something baking and finishes with a chocolate aroma. It’s lovely!

Definitely smells exactly what you’d think it smells like. Very woodsy and a little on the masculine side. I tend to always enjoy darker scents but I wish this one had a little more sweetness to it. Definitely still enjoy it and save it for nights out.

The scent is sweet and sensual. I absolutely love love love it!

Its not my favorite but it works

This scent allows you to walk out of a room, and leave people wondering what is that smell.

When I first spray this on in the morning the smell is really overpowering and not very pleasant, but as I go through the day I think the initial scent (which isn't so pleasant) fades away pretty fast and the softer more alluring undertones step forward. I don't think it lasts all day, but is nice for a few hours. It is not flowery but isn't too heavy either, woodsy with some sweet undertones.

I like the smell the cocoa and other notes in it a real warm hearty smell but didn't smell so good on me. I guess florals smell better on me. I'd love to have a sexy sent just not that strong.

Lasts for a long time!

I was really excited about this scent, but unfortunately it wasn’t for me! If you like unique scents, I would recommend giving this a try. The smell of cocoa really comes through

I'm am admirer of Nest Fragrances. This is the first time the fragrance changed on me. Going on i could smell the coco very strong. But as a little time passed it changed. The other notes became more pronounced. First time, this isn't for me.

Short life-span (2 hrs), little to no chocolate, woods smell less like woods and more like ‘pretend woods’

Not quite what I was expecting. The scent was soft.

This scent was really deep and dark it had some strange tones in it that didn’t mix well with my skin or smell very good I only used it a few times because of this.

It was so strong, I smelled it when I open the package.

I really have enjoyed the Nest brand of fragrances. This scent is a bit too musky for my taste. I will still wear it on certain times, but it will not be my first choice pick.

Upon first spritz, I smell chocolate! It’s a bit strong and weird, but then the other notes combine with the cocoa note and it blossoms into a creamy light scent. This fragrance wears really close to the skin and on me it fades kinda fast. If you like unique, gourmand scents, try this one!

I really liked this fragrance. I sprayed onto this cotton t-shirt I was wearing instead of my skin and it lasted over 12 hours. It’s not a fruity or floral or clean scent. I do get the cocoa for sure and the woods scent. A nice, sweet, Winter fragrance.

I can see where this might not be for everyone. I totally enjoy it's uniqueness. I love the warm chocolate and woodiness.. A little bit sweet but more spice in the end. This goes with my chemistry but I could see where it woundn't go with everyone. I say give it a try especially if you veer toward spicy woods.

Ok I tried another NEST fragrance and fell in LOVE, this one I wanted to try it does seem a little "old lady" so I am not too fond of it. It is ok and a good winter scent but not one I will get again or that I would order a full bottle of. For a more mature woman not a younger scent at all. Also agree that it does not last long, goes on very strong and does die down to a more subtle warm scent. Still not good enough for a whole bottle. I wanted to try this for a while and it sat in my que for months

At first, I was not impressed. It starts out as very pine and very cocoa. However, after a few moments with my body chemistry, and throughout the day, the scent got better and warmer, and I love it!

I like

I was really looking forward to this fragrance. After contemplating over it for months it was my first Scentbird subscription fragrance. At first it comes off strong and sort of masculine. Also at its start it is chocolatey slipping into a warmed vanilla ginger later but doesn't last very long overall. I have to reapply throughout the day and it doesn't seem to have much throw- if it sweeps past my face or very close to others they notice to compliment and I am reminded its there. Even after a few days of wear it didn't make a difference in reapplication. I do enjoy it and would recommend to someone who prefers lighter fragrance that is for them rather than others. I will wear this depending on the occasion however, it will not be in my regular rotation or likely return to my queue.

i do like this one. not for everyday but really interesting and a bit mysterious.

The cocoa tones were a little too strong for me, but it definitely is a fall/winter perfume.

So, I actually like this one. It's not my first pick but I would definitely wear it on a cold winter date night or even just for bed. It gives you a nice warm feel. You don't need much and it lasts for a long time.
