    This is so yummy. If you love the smell of walking into a chocolate store then this is for you. Hungry for chocolate and on a diet, then smell some of this cocoa absalute. I also love that it is made with grape spirits.

    It really does smell like the darkest, smoothest, yummiest liquid chocolate you could ever hope to come across! Love it.

    BEAUTIFUL dark cocoa note

    Rating

    I've tried a few cacao absolutes from different sources and always been disappointed by the bitter acrid pungency. This is absolutely the best one I have smelt so far; it’s like leaning over a pot of dark chocolate fondue. Perfect for making products if you want your cocoa note to stay true and not fade into a generic vanilla or smell like fake synthetic chocolate fragrance.

    Ylang Ylang, Very Fine Indeed

    I sometimes feel like a broken record when asked how to sweeten up a natural perfume blend. My answer about 90% of the time: just a touch of Ylang Ylang.
