Do YOU remember this perfume (ca. 2005)?!

Something about not being able to travel much over the past couple of years has made me seek escapism through... perfume! I've gone mad for it. I've got together quite a little collection now and am missing one I used to have, but I can't remember the name of it.

The facts:
I bought it in about 2004/5.
It wasn't expensive, just an impulse buy somewhere like Superdrug.
It had a red glass bottle, like a lopsided/squashed cube (?).
I'm no olfactory expert, but something deep in the mix reminded me of chocolate.

??????????

I have trawled the internet, including Fragrantica, looking for clues, but so far drew a blank and I wondered if anyone here could help!

@Alcemeg I’ve tried to remember things from the past , a film or book or actor and been adamant that the name begins with B or whatever, when I’ve finally remembered the name it’s never had the the letter B in it !

My son didn’t believe me when I was telling him about a perfume Tramp when I was a teenager. The tag line was she’s a Tramp. You were either a Charlie girl or a tramp.
Good luck with your perfume search. When you get the name of it, have a look on eBay.

Was it Provocative Woman? Purple not red but definitely a lopsized squarish shape!

Everyone was wearing Paul smith extreme around then weren’t we? The bottle shape would be right but I can’t find a red one.

@Staryflight445

Give us a drawing! It’ll help loads lol

I can't really, because I am a bit vague about the bottle shape. I could swear it had corners, but not sharp corners, and were there really four corners? All I can say is, I think so... This is the best I can do, but I think it should be taken with a pinch of salt.

I'm sorry it looks like a screaming person with a cardboard box trapped on their head. I got a bit confused with the relative proportions of fingers/thumbs, I think I was trying to be too clever with perspective.

I hope this aids the investigation, but I somehow doubt it 🤨

I knowwwwwwwww!!!!!!!

that's why all along, I haven't mentioned that I think the name has an S or a Z in it (or both) and that it conveyed a sort of posh/polite way of saying dirty slag.

I don't trust my memory.

Deci Dela? I think the bottles used to be burgundy and a bit squishy, though maybe not cubes.

Reddit has a lot of perfume themed subreddits that may be able to help.

Do you remember if the bottle was transparent red or opaque? Maybe the glass was clear with red going a third or halfway up? Maybe the juice was red or the name was red?

I instantly thought of amor amor by cacherel which Superdrug still sell but that’s a round bottle. Very sweet smelling though.
