Cacao Azteque Extrait

Yes! Finally, a sophisticated chocolate scent. I guess everyone expected the usual syrupy sludge. We have enough of those thank you very much! Loving this grown up, sexy tuberose with dark, unsweetened cocoa!

I didn't compare the normal version to the Extrait because I simply don't think it's worth the price to upgrade. The scent is very nice, but simple, and didn't exactly deliver the star of the show, which is cacao; it's definitely detectable, but in a supporting role compared to the spices and all the other dry facets.

It is kind of a spicy tea fragrance. You would wear it casualy when you want to relax.

I wouldn’t call this fragrance cacao-focused and certainly not about chocolate. To my nose, it is a spicy composition with a noticeable white floral accord woven in. I appreciate how delicate these flowers are and how uniquely they are represented—at first, you might not even notice them. In fact, the inspiration is apparently this bitter, spice-infused ceremonial drink consumed by Aztec royalty called Xocoatl, and we can definitely argue whether it’s a marketing gimmick or truth, but the point is that Perris Monte Carlo and Mathieu Nardin approach this composition not as an indulgent gourmand, but rather as a raw and unique interpretation of this sacred ingredient for the Aztecs. In the end, we have a trio of peppery spices in the opening with a creamy tuberose with boozy accents in the heart, which settles into a milky sandalwood/leather combination with faint cacao undertones. Lovely fragrance in my book and fairly unique, also perfectly unisex! I remember spending an entire day wearing Cacao Azteque while exploring the magnificent and surreal Stanley Park in Vancouver, one of my absolute favorite places I visited during my travels, and I love having memories like these tied to specific fragrances. Thank you, Perris Monte Carlo!

It's not a cacao! it does have hints of cacao truly but not pure cacao as i thought it's gonna be mostly gourmand. It's like a spicy boozy leather in an orchid color and prints of tuberose and some cacao powder sprinkled on top of it for the final touch of taste! just like that as i detect cardamom, rum, tuberose, sandalwood, leather, buts of musk, and cacao powder. It's fair and i believe i figured out why there is "cacao" in it's name cause it's not the usual cacao as everybody thought it is AND the cacao powder is sprinkled as it is sniffed everywhere in bits rather than the concentrated dominant usual cacao. Nice. Edit (17th July 2018) The more i apply it the more i get a mild cardamom, green fresh cuts, dew, and tuberose green leaves! It's addictive yet amusing. Never strong, and never weak, whiffs of fresh early morning white floral leaves you will detect when you apply it on. Addiction.
