I purchased a perfume oil bottle of this and it smells really good to me, but I gotta be honest, this does give off a youthful chocolate-based gourmand perfume vibe. It reminds me of a few body mists and perfumes I used to wear when I was a teenager/adolescent. Nevertheless, I find it to be a great option for gourmand perfume lovers. It does somewhat smell like chocolate kunafa to me but it's more on the perfumey side. At first, the chocolate note dominates the fragrance but dissipates into the background after a few minutes. I would not say it is a bakery type scent (as in, it does not literally smell like I just came out of a dessert or pastry shop.) I would categorize it as an evening winter scent. My nose does not pick up a heavy "Buttery Pastry" facet, but in the drydown, I smell notes that resemble the kunafa crust with "Caramelised Sugar." Decent projection out of the bottle and off of skin, but doesn't last very long as a perfume oil on my skin. Will likely make a perfume spray version out of it.
