Maison Tahité Cacao Libertine is a unisex gourmand where cocoa, caramel and vanilla sit on a sweet base, with rose and tuberose adding a powdery floral touch.
Most voters pick fall and winter, with evening and night-out wear leading the occasions. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. The largest share of voters finds it feminine, though a fair number call it masculine.
It opens briefly bright with mandarin orange and bergamot. In the heart, rose, tuberose and cardamom bring a soft floral and spicy layer. As it dries, patchouli, cocoa, caramel, vanilla and benzoin take over, leaving a sweet, powdery, oriental feel. La Maison de la Vanille Vanille Noire du Mexique and Trussardi Python have a close profile.
