Cacao
The raw, earthy version of chocolate, cacao has a bitter, roasted quality before sweetness is added, with an almost smoky, slightly fermented depth. In perfumery it reads as more sophisticated than straight 'chocolate': darker, more complex, and better suited to woody and leather compositions where it adds a rich, bittersweet depth.
