by David Maruitte

Maison Tahité – Officine Creative Profumi Cacao Libertine is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by David Maruitte. The fragrance opens with Bergamot and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Rose, Tuberose, and Cardamom, and dries down to a base of Cacao Pod, Caramel, Patchouli, and Benzoin.

Our verdict on Cacao Libertine: Statement

This is a polarising gourmand-leaning scent. Some find it a magical, rich chocolate-orange patchouli dream, while others are underwhelmed by the blend or performance, detecting mostly boozy patchouli with little cacao. Not for the faint of heart - or those expecting a true cacao solinote.

Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its bold, rich, and boozy character makes it better suited for evenings out, particularly dates, where its warmth and sensuality can shine without overwhelming. For similar reasons, it's less ideal for office wear or sports, but can work for more relaxed casual settings or formal events that embrace a statement fragrance.

About

Cacao Libertine explodes with a fizzy citrus top, making way for a dense, spicy heart of cardamom-laced rose and tuberose. The real showstopper is the base, a rich concoction of dark cacao pod, gooey caramel, earthy patchouli, and warm benzoin and vanilla. It evokes a journey from bright zest to a deep, dark indulgence, with a warm, resinous trail.
