Dark Chocolate

Photo Dark Chocolate :: fragrance ingredients

Dark Chocolate in perfumery is used for its rich, deep, and indulgent scent. It is derived from the cocoa bean, which undergoes fermentation, drying, and roasting before being processed into chocolate. The scent of dark chocolate in fragrances is warm, slightly bitter, and luxurious, often used to add depth and a gourmand quality to fragrance compositions. In perfumes, dark chocolate notes are achieved both through natural extracts and synthetic aromachemicals. The natural extraction captures the authentic essence of dark chocolate, while synthetic variants replicate its richness and depth. Dark chocolate is commonly found in the gourmand fragrance family, where it complements sweet, spicy, and woody notes.

Natural or Synthetic?
Natural Dark Chocolate scent comes from cocoa extract. Synthetics are used more for the consistency and cost-effectiveness.
