Cacao Butter names no single substance

Reconstructed

Cocoa butter is near-odourless as a fat; the note denotes a creamy-cocoa impression.

How the layers join

Origin

Cacao butter is obtained by cold-pressing roasted seeds of the Theobroma cacao tree, primarily cultivated in West Africa, South America, and Southeast Asia. The extracted fat is refined for use in both culinary and perfumery applications.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use cacao butter mainly in the heart and base of gourmand and oriental fragrances to impart creaminess and depth. It blends well with vanilla, tonka bean, spices, and floral notes, enhancing edible accords and adding a soft, luxurious texture.
