Cacao
The name promises cacao but the pyramid gives only bergamot up top and white musk at the base — two ingredients that frame a gourmand without defining one.

By the editors · 2 min readThe name promises cacao but the pyramid gives only bergamot up top and white musk at the base — two ingredients that frame a gourmand without defining one. Bergamot provides citrus brightness on opening, and white musk keeps the close clean and airy.
What's between them is presumably the chocolate accord that the name suggests, though the pyramid doesn't document it. The character here, extrapolated from what's present, points toward a sheer, fresh-faceted composition where any cocoa is implied rather than thick. The confidence here is limited by the sparse notation — a fragrance that likely smells more interesting than its ingredient list implies.
