Cocoa
The note presents as a rich, multifaceted aroma, often evoking the dry, slightly bitter dustiness of raw cocoa powder, yet capable of transforming into the creamy, sweet indulgence of milk chocolate or the deep, complex bitterness of dark chocolate. Its texture can be powdery and velvety, or smooth and almost oily. Intensity ranges from a subtle, earthy whisper to a bold, enveloping richness. It typically behaves as a heart or base note, offering excellent longevity and a comforting, warm projection that lingers beautifully on the skin. Nuances can include roasted, nutty, earthy, and sometimes even a subtle fruity or spicy undertone.
