Dark Chocolate

About

Dark chocolate smells of bitter cocoa and roasted cacao, a dry yet velvety richness with nutty, earthy, and faint red-berry facets, shadowed by woody-leathery tones and a restrained sweetness; it evokes indulgence, warmth, and nocturnal sensuality. Used mainly as a heart-to-base gourmand note—via cocoa absolute or crafted accords—it deepens ambers and woods and pairs with vanilla, tonka, patchouli, benzoin, labdanum, coffee, spices, boozy nuances, citrus, and red fruits, adding luxe depth but turning dusty or heavy if overdone.
