Inspired by Criollo cocoa, one of the rarest and most precious varieties, Criollo explores the richness of cocoa in all its complexity: bitterness, depth, fruity brightness and enveloping sweetness.
The opening is intense. The coffee brings a slightly roasted, almost earthy blackness, immediately balanced by the juicy roundness of the plum. The whole creates a controlled contrast between bitterness and ripe fruit.
The heart reveals the true signature of the fragrance. Dark chocolate takes center stage, dense yet elegant, accompanied by a vibrant raspberry that adds depth and tension. Discreet jasmine acts as a guiding thread: it illuminates the composition and prevents any heaviness, lending an almost ethereal floral finesse to the gourmand heart.
In the base, the fragrance gains warmth. Honey diffuses a golden light, tonka bean accentuates the creamy texture, while patchouli structures the whole with an earthy and sophisticated depth.
Criollo evolves slowly on the skin. The initial bitterness softens, the fruit blends with the cocoa, then warmth elegantly takes over. A rich, textured, and assertive fragrance, designed for those who appreciate gourmand compositions crafted with precision and restraint.
