Cacao
“Raw chocolate — drier and more bitter than chocolate, with an earthy depth.”
Cacao is raw chocolate before sweetening, dark, bitter and complex with earthy depth and fruity undertones. In perfumery it brings a sophisticated chocolate character to gourmand orientals, less sweet than milk chocolate, more intriguing. In Indian winters, cacao's dark richness is wonderful in evening scents. In summer, it needs careful balancing. Chocolate for grown-ups.
