Cocoa, rose, patchouli
Sampling Maison Tahite Cacao Libertine, a blend involving cacao, patchouli, and florals, primarily, a sort of sweet floral blend with a bit of a resinous twist. The rose and patchouli are particularly noticeable, with a decent blend of cacao, vanilla, caramel, and benzoin. So it’s sweet, for sure, but not a gourmand, and not fully floral either, but somewhere in between. It has a little more intrigue and complexity than Cacao2, particularly being more of a nod to those who would enjoy the rose and patchouli, and I like that it branches out a little bit more than something simply focused on cacao. Most fragrances in the house are named for cacao, coffee, or vanilla, so it’s nice to see when there is some divergence from those main notes, as it could otherwise get a bit redundant. The coffee quartet demonstrated as much.
Cacao Libertine is priced at $120 for 100ml at EDP concentration (sold at Luckyscent), like most of the line, very reasonable in today’s market, and it performs well.
