I’m a big fan of body butters, and of all the gorgeous scents available, chocolate has to be my favorite (with mango a close second). Here’s a White Chocolate Body Butter for a change, and as a bonus it has no animal ingredients or animal testing involved.

What a great dual purpose product! Your home can smell as good as you do with this spray, which can be used as a body mister and to scent your rooms. It can even be used in the car. Oh, yum!

It’s a cliche to say that something looks good enough to eat, but these little candles really do look like the real thing to me. From looking at the picture, I’d swear they were actual chocolates. Be careful where you set these, then, so no-one accidentally tries a bite!

Handmade soap is pretty much an essential for me, as commercial brands contain allergens that give me ezcema. Soaps made by artisans are much kinder and do not irritate my skin, as the majority do not contain chemical preservatives. This seller has a helpful ingredients list, and the soap is also suitable for vegans.
I’m not the most green-fingered of people, but I might have a go at growing some of these chocolate-scented plants. Mmmm – imagine your garden smelling as good as your house – who needs roses?
For those of us with a sweet tooth but perhaps not the baking skills, introducing a chocolate vibe to the backyard could be a game-changer. Imagine throwing a summer party with the air subtly infused with the aroma of cocoa. It would turn heads and certainly become a talking point amongst friends. Plus, when they bloom, these delightful Akebia quinata offer not only their alluring scent but also a shower of pretty flowers, adding a touch of chocolate elegance to any garden palette. Sweet indulgence without the calories – it seems too good to be true!

Chocolate orange? How much better does it get! I love the name of this brand and the fun packaging – the chimp does indeed look very cheeky. Keep your lips moisturised with this balm – just resist the urge to lick it off.

Is there anything that isnt available in a chocolate scented version? You can even buy this chocolate ballpoint pen, so that you can sniff as you write (just don’t overdo it …).
Now if this was a body spray, I could see the sense in it, but a spray to stop chocolate cravings? Why on earth would anyone want to do that?
Are you a chocoholic like me? Do you have everything from shampoo to toothpaste in choccy flavour? What's your favorite chocolate-scented product? Please let me know so I can give it a go!
