Dark and comforting
Instead of a true-to-life cacao gourmand, Cacao Porcelana is a perfect balance between bitter and sweet, edible and perfumey.
I sense a lot of patchouli here, at least as much as the titular cacao, maybe even more. It's very earthy, but also musky and kind of polished, not the green or dirty kind.
At first I thought this scent was too dark and robust to be named after porcelain, but in the drydown, it starts to have a smoothness to it that makes me understand the name.
Jasmine is incorporated into the scent very nicely. It's not a floral fragrance by any means, but this one flower is easily noticeable and makes the whole scent feel more refined and sophisticated.
I also get a hint of rum and balsamic notes that round out the scent even further. The rum feels light and sweet in a way, almost a little fruity, so it has an uplifting effect and keeps everything from being too dense and heavy. Like secretly drinking a summery cocktail under your warm blanket by the fireplace, because why not?
This reminds me a little bit of the long discontinued Yves Rocher Néonatura Cocoon, which in turn was a distant, stripped down relative of Mugler's Angel. A dark, patchy chocolate scent with an alluring sweetness to it, just like this one. Cacao Porcelana is less gourmand and more complex than I remember Cocoon though.
I love this kind of scent in general and find Cacao Porcelana to be an especially great take on the concept. Surely not a scent for everyone, if you have any problems with patchouli it won't work. But if you like patch and cacao or dark chocolate, it's gorgeous and feels so warming and cozy. A true winter fragrance that I can't imagine wearing on a sunny day. Wonderful!
