Butter, Vanilla and Cocoa Powder: The Exotic Chocolate Extrait de Parfum by Sãlum

Butter, Vanilla and Cocoa Powder: The "Exotic Chocolate" Extrait de Parfum by Sãlum

The Italian perfume house Sãlum interprets the gourmand style in a tropical way with "Exotic Chocolate": rich, creamy-sweet and refined with fine spicy notes.

The latest fragrance from Sofia Bardelli and Massimiliano Minorini is a gourmand explosion that convinces from the very first breath: melted white chocolate, star anise and cinnamon open the dance to reveal a delicious heart note of freshly baked cookies and vanilla cream.

The composition opens with notes of salted butter, white chocolate, star anise and cinnamon, which interweave to create a warm, gourmand, spicy accord. Creamy, sweet facets of milk, chocolate cookie and vanilla cream emerge at the heart, before a sensual base of bourbon vanilla, cocoa powder and musk rounds off the fragrance with powdery, warm depth.

"Exotic Chocolate" was created by Sofia Bardelli. After studying pharmacy at the University of Pavia, the Italian-born perfumer completed her training at the Grasse Institute of Perfumery. She then gained experience as an analytical perfumer in France. She now lives and works in Italy, where she creates fragrance compositions for international and Italian brands.

A new tropical chapter 

The fragrance complements the Treasure Island Collection, a range inspired by the exotic island world of Madagascar. The aim of the line is to bring the diversity of tropical sensuality to life in different olfactory facets.

The collection already includes "Vanilla Monsoon", "Sparkling Tamarind" and "Tropylang": While "Vanilla Monsoon" combines creamy vanilla blossom, spicy cardamom and the humid scent of tropical nights, "Sparkling Tamarind" introduces a citrusy freshness with tamarind and tangy cola nuances. finally, "Tropylang" transports you to a lush tropical landscape, characterized by fruity and floral notes such as mango, passion fruit and ylang-ylang.

@Gourmandgrl My suspicion has grown due to numerous betrayals,🤔 but as a member of the World Vanilla Conference, we’re worth verifying!
