What does Cacao Ceremony smell like?

The scent blends floral, gourmand and woody accords. Dark chocolate and vanilla carry the sweetness, while wild rose and ylang-ylang add a soft floral touch. Palo Santo, frankincense and oud lay down a resinous, smoky base, and oakmoss with cedar firm it up with an earthy, woody tone.

Its sillage is rated good, though that view rests on only a handful of votes. With its spicy, resinous character, it suits those who prefer smoky, weighty scents over purely sweet ones. Penhaligon's The Bewitching Yasmine and Lattafa Raghba Wood Intense have a close profile.
