Jean Paul Gaultier Kokorico is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011, created by Olivier Cresp and Annick Menardo. Kokorico opens with Fig Leaf, settles into a heart of Cacao Pod and Patchouli, and dries down to a base of Cedar and Vetiver. Jean Paul Gaultier's Kokorico carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

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.
