Choco Craze by Al Absar is a Oriental Vanilla fragrance for women and men. This is a new fragrance. Choco Craze was launched in 2026. Top notes are Mandarin, Water Flowers and Banana; middle notes are Coconut Milk, Cedarwood and Butter; base notes are Tonka Bean, Vanilla, Musk and Toast. Choco Craze by Al Absar is a unisex gourmand fragrance with a sweet, creamy profile. It opens with a playful combination of mandarin and banana, brightened by airy water flower notes for a soft and uplifting introduction. The heart focuses on rich, dessert-like nuances of butter and coconut milk, supported by a touch of cedarwood that adds subtle dryness and structure. As it develops on the skin, the scent turns warmer and cozier, with creamy vanilla, toasted accords, tonka bean, and soft musk creating a lingering, enveloping trail. The composition emphasizes edible, chocolate-adjacent impressions and is likely suited to those who enjoy warm, sweet, and comfort-oriented fragrances.

Best for: shoppers who want an affordable, gourmand-leaning house under $55, with a clear vanilla-sweet signature and a mostly unisex range. Sample first if: you're sensitive to strong vanilla or sugared openings, since sweet and vanilla dominate the accord profile. Skip if: you want an established house with a long mention history; Al Absar is new (2022 onward) and community data is still building.
By community mentions across Scendira's data, Dahab leads Al Absar with 9 mentions, closely followed by Hasaa, Shahoor Elixir, and Rania, each with 8. Shahoor Intense, Melted Glaze, Muhit, and Melted Sugar trail close behind. Mention volume across the house is still small and tightly clustered, a sign of a young, fast-growing catalogue rather than one or two runaway hits. Each has its own page here with real community sentiment and the honest downside.
