A short affair
The next fragrance from Maison Tahité.
I find the bottles somehow appealing. Reminds me slightly of the LV bottles, but unfortunately the quality is not as good as LV, but considering how expensive these bottles are compared to the other brand, you can easily forgive it.
Since I already own a bottle, I noticed that some parts of the sprayer come off from time to time when I pull it off.
It's annoying from time to time, but well, consider the price.
Let's move on to the fragrance Carnal Cacao

At the beginning, a fruity/floral nuance paired with a certain zestiness shines through, and the latter increases more and more after the floral start The pepper is also very perceptible at the beginning, but also evaporates quite quickly.

Shortly after the start, around 30 minutes in, the cocoa joins in and gives the fragrance a creamy/powdery quality and lends it a certain warmth and comfort.

After another 20 minutes, you can easily recognize the musky nuance, which gives the fragrance a certain light smokiness But an oriental note also joins in and unfortunately changes the fragrance more to the negative, unfortunately. Can't really interpret which note it is, possibly ambroxan?

The cocoa note also disappears again quickly and for me the fragrance becomes spicier and reminds me slightly of a rather fresher, more citrusy version of Spicebomb Extreme. Since Spicebomb Extreme is not quite mine, the fragrance always seems less appealing to me, even though this one is fresher and also softer.

Over time, the "Spicebomb" association recedes and cocoa finally reappears and becomes the dominant note. But unfortunately you also notice that the fragrance comes to an end after about 3 hours and is therefore already a rather weak fragrance The sillage is not really a hit either.
But again, considering the price, you could live with the shortcomings if you like the fragrance.

The start and the end I found very good and also successful, but this between and thus longer "Spicebomb" period I unfortunately do not like so much that the fragrance thus unfortunately falls out for me

Chocolate meets Soleil Blanc
Maison Tahite Carnal Cacao upon initial spray smells like a blend of cacao and sunscreen, with the latter aspect being more so exposed as a tuberose scent in the opening few minutes. The result is a sort of chocolately variant of Tom Ford Soleil Blanc, a bright floral sunscreen-like blend, albeit with chocolate. In that respect, I could see a lot of people liking Carnal Cacao, with it having significant versatility with respect to season and situation. I quite like it, even though it’s not in my very top choices of the house.

Like the rest of the line, Carnal Cacao is priced very reasonably at $120 for 100ml in EDP concentration and is sold at Luckyscent, among other boutiques, and it performs quite well so far.

High quality!
Let me start by saying that I absolutely do not like perfumes with edible nuts in the scent. Yes, then why buy a scent blind with chocolate as the main note....?
I got interested in this fragrance because of a review I read. It was compared to Frederic Malle's Carnal Flower. The scent was described as a creamy tuberose and the chocolate was described as a creamy white chocolate note. I love creamy tuberose perfumes. So already own several. The sustainable way of working of this perfume house gave me the last push to blindly order the fragrance.
The perfume starts with a sour and bitter pure chocolate note and with a green tuberose (more like the stem of the tuberose). It started with a disappointment. No creaminess to be found anywhere. Gradually the chocolate becomes a little creamier and the tuberose blossoms more and more. But I cannot describe it as a creamy perfume.
Am I still disappointed? No definitely not. But a bit confused by my expectation.
It really is a complex niche fragrance. The perfume is so beautifully blended. The tuberose is so natural and beautiful. And for the first time that a food note in a perfume doesn't bother me but, on the contrary, adds something.
A high quality perfume.

A surprisingly light and friendly tuberose, dipped in creamy milk chocolate with a light squeeze of fresh orange. Sunscreenish drydown.
