What does Cacao² smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evening, night out and leisure wear. It sits evenly between masculine and feminine, with votes split almost equally.

It opens with cinnamon for a spicy warmth. The heart brings roasted notes and labdanum, and the base is dominated by cocoa and vanilla. Amber, benzoin, vetiver and cedar set that sweetness on a woody, resinous footing. Powdery, creamy, earthy and slightly smoky sides show through as well. Laboratorio Olfattivo Alambar and Kilian Amber Oud have a close profile.
