Muskara Cacao

Before I give my thoughts on this perfume, I'll have to clarify that I'm really not fond of gourmand fragrances. Yet somehow smelling like a walking pool of rich and decadence chocolate ganache appeals to me. Probably because of how this scent embodies the depth of cacao powder without the added headache inducing, tooth rotting chemical notes. The only added note is the house signature plant pheromone, which I assumed created this musky feel. Therefore prevents this scent from straying away from being a perfume and added a raw depth to your skin. The cacao note in and of itself is a complete fragrance, there are so many facets being presented here. Sticky, earthy, toasty, creamy, dusty and bitter. There's little sweetness to be found, which appeals to my palette. Still, even sweet tooths would be able to appreciate how complex their beloved dessert can be. My only qualm is how this scent isn't edible, and also the price point.

This is photorealistic cocoa powder. It’s not sweet, not cloying, and I don’t detect any other notes. Unlike most of the other cocoa/chocolate fragrances out on the market right now, this doesn’t smell artificial at all. It smells like a high quality natural cocoa powder. Very straightforward good quality fragrance.

I had the chance to try this one at Harrods and it was delicious. Simply, pure and natural cacao. Not too bitter, not too sweet... it was excellent, I would love to afford it. I hope more people will be able to try it, it’s worth it. A beautiful discovery.

Authenticity and quality of the cacao is astonishing and superb. I cannot imagine anything more than this piece of art. I do prefer in the colder seasons but I still wear this in the hot seasons because of the addictive scent!

Smelled the 2026 batch of this and I’m obsessed. My eyes rolled back when I sniffed it.
