Amour de cacao, Sorriso or Chocolate greedy?

I'm looking for a cocoa powder, cocoa buttery scent, I don't care if it's simplistic, I just care it to be realistic.

I have no way to test Amour de cacao, so it would be a possible blind buy (I really don't like to do that).
I'm worried about the orange note? Is it prominent?

Would Sorriso, or Chocolate greedy be better options for cocoa powder, cocoa buttery scent?

I know there are other options in this genre, but I am interested in opinions on these three only, because they are affordable versions to me.

Thanks!

I'm familiar with all three. I prefer and selected Sorriso when I was looking for chocolate. It's good.
You can get an 18ml travel spray at Luckyscent. The scent is strong and long lasting, won't need too many sprays.
Chocolate Greedy may be inexpensive, but it smells synthetic and cheap. Not recommended.

Either Amour De Cacao or Chocolate Greedy would be fine choices IMO.

I wouldn't exactly call Sorriso affordable when the 18ml bottle of it costs basically the same as what a 100ml bottle of Chocolate Greedy sells for at FragranceNet or what a 100ml bottle of Amour de Cacao sells for at LuckyScent. However, I think the Profumum Roma is going to be way, way higher in quality than either the Montale or the CsP.

Have you considered a 30ml bottle of Akro Dark? Akro Dark is my choice when I want to wear chocolate, and I think Akro fragrances are much higher in quality than Montale or CsP.

It's affordable to me, as is also Montale, because I can get good prices on decants.
That's why I narrowed the choice to those three.
Pretty familiar with retail prices of the lot.

I'll keep Akro Dark in mind too, thanks!

Amour de Cacao & Chocolate Greedy are very similar and fit your description pretty well, both smell like Cocoa Puffs/ Sweetened Cocoa Powder.

However Sorriso is my personal preference of the 3 just mostly because it's less powdery and more liquor like

So, I have tried both Sorriso and Chocolate greedy. They are both good and both have their own merits.
But.
As the unattainable is always very attractive, how does Amour de cacao compare to them?
Is it more similar to Sorriso, or Chocolate greedy?
Any better, or I'm not missing much if I go for Sorriso, or Chocolate greedy?
(No way to test Amour de cacao, hate blind buys).
