Scent Profile — What You'll Experience

Top Notes

Bergamot · Grapefruit · Orange

Heart Notes

Geranium · Jasmine · Narcissus · Peach · Rose

Base Notes

Benzoin · Clove · Incense · Musk · Patchouli · Sandalwood · Tonka Bean · Vanilla

The top notes arrive as a burst of grapefruit, bergamot, and orange—crisp and luminous, setting a radiant foundation that feels both welcoming and self-assured. The citrus sparkles with energy, inviting you into the heart of the composition.

As the fragrance settles, rose, geranium, jasmine, narcissus, and peach emerge in elegant harmony. These floral heart notes create depth and femininity, softening the opening while maintaining an air of quiet confidence. The peach adds a velvety warmth that bridges the gap between the bright top and the rich base.

The base reveals the true character of Cacao Noir: benzoin, clove, olibanum, patchouli, sandalwood, tonka bean, and white musk create a luxurious, grounding finish. Vanilla and incense wrap around the composition in an intimate skin-close trail, unfolding slowly and deliberately throughout the day. This is a fragrance that whispers rather than shouts—noticeable yet personal, wearable year-round but at its best in warm conditions.
