ATELIER MATERI Cacao Porcelana is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Marie Hugentobler. Cacao Porcelana opens with Immortelle, Cacao Pod, and Rum, settles into a heart of Davana, White Tobacco, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Tonka Bean. ATELIER MATERI's Cacao Porcelana carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a proper dark horse - a sophisticated cacao that sidesteps the usual sickly sweetness, but expect some truly wild takes on the opening. You'll either adore its unique, dry depth or think someone's been rummaging through a skip.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its distinctive and sometimes divisive opening, combined with moderate sillage (when it performs), makes it a bit much for the office. However, its sophisticated and warming profile, especially in the dry down, is ideal for dates and cooler-weather formal events.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

About

Cacao Porcelana opens with a bold, boozy hit of rum and unsweetened cacao pod, underpinned by the dry, hay-like nuances of immortelle. As it settles, a floral heart emerges with jasmine and a clean white tobacco, lending an unexpected freshness. The dry down is a warm embrace of creamy sandalwood and tonka bean, enriched by earthy patchouli, leaving a lasting impression of elegant, dark gourmandise.
