Perfect Marriage of Coffee and Cocoa
Coffee and cocoa seems essences made one for each other. The marriage is perfect besides the differences (considering that cocoa tends to be used generally in a sweeter form and the coffee in a more bitter and roasted way) because both have a roasted and dense aroma that match very well. Café cacao use both to recreate the smell of a parisienne café mocha, enveloping them in a more complex aura of roses, ambar and ambergris. One of the most pleasure part of this creation is just watching its seducing nuances of its smells: it's a fragrance that i want to devour each piece of its aroma. Right away the criation opens with a dense and roasted coffee aura, which transform into a chocolate aroma of those that have 60-70% of cocoa, bitter but still with a sweet touch. The roses are subtle here, it's like they have dipped some rose petals into a thick and hot chocolate smell and o smell its petals exhale while they are soaked up by the mixture. The base is intriguing to me, i detec a slightly animalic and salty musk in contrast with a sweet, cozy and ambery vanilla. I don't see any transition jumps in the smells of this creation, everything seems to flow in a very rounded way on skin, creating a warm and cozy aura.
