Our verdict on Kokorico: Acquired

A love-it-or-hate-it scent that divides opinion, Kokorico is for those who dare to be different. It's a bold, earthy cacao bomb that leaves a lasting impression, though opinions on whether that impression is good or bad vary wildly.

About

Kokorico opens with a sharp, green fig leaf that quickly gives way to a dominant, unsweetened cacao and earthy patchouli. As it settles, vetiver and cedar emerge, creating a dry, woody base that complements the chocolatey and green notes. It's a complex, almost raw aroma, far from a typical gourmand, leaning heavily into its woody, earthy character.
