Dark Cocoa Powder

Nothing to say about this very well constructed (almost) solinote. It smells exactly like bitter cocoa powder, the kind used for cakes, of excellent quality and slightly spicy by its own nature. Toward the end it veers to a cinnamon note and vague woody hints of unexpected maturity and character. Kinda masculine, it would smell very charming on a man

Relatively subtle cocoa-led gourmand

Sampling Maison Tahite Cacao2 (stylized with the “2” as a superscript), a delicious, dry cocoa blend with various hints in the background, namely of coffee, woods, and resins. It’s not an overly sweet blend, with a bit of the sharp, dry cocoa powder concept, and it frankly smells a little floral or patchouli-laden, even, with something bright and a little feminine in the mix, but that could just be the effects of the resins. Overall, I quite like it as a mostly-gourmand that’s not too over the top.

Performance is moderate but the price is great, at $120 for 100ml in EDP concentration , on par with the rest of the line, and it’s fairly rare for a non-designer company to be around $1/ml.

Dark chocolate by the fireplace at home or an overdose of brown gold!

Cocoa to the power of 2 sounds so incredibly tempting! At home, wrapped up in a blanket, the fireplace crackling and a warm cocoa with dark chocolate, a hint of cream and cinnamon. That's my idea of coziness.

However, the first spray delivers a real dark chocolate hammer! It takes some getting used to and is not an everyday fragrance. I can understand if you turn up your nose for a moment. In fact, I would have hoped for a more harmonious fragrance composition. In winter and on cold fall days, 2 sprays are enough, as the perfume tends to overdose quickly and then it almost becomes unpleasant for me. Sillage and longevity are therefore very good and the bottle also fits the name perfectly.

It becomes a little softer as it progresses, but the bitter note remains. You have to sniff carefully to smell the vanilla in the base note. Amber and vetiver are also very subtle.

Conclusion:
This should not be a blind purchase just because it sounds good. There will be different opinions and not everyone will like it. I need the right moments to spray it on. Not suitable for daily wear, work or sport. More of a fragrance for a visit to the Christmas market.
