Maison Tahité - Officine Creative Profumi Carnal Cacao is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Paul Guerlain. Carnal Cacao opens with Mandarin and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Neroli and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Cacao Pod, Oakmoss, and Ambroxan. Maison Tahité - Officine Creative Profumi's Carnal Cacao carries a Favourite verdict, an animalic-led wear.

This one's a bit of a chameleon, promising cacao but delivering a surprisingly fresh, clean tuberose. It’s got fans for its unique take on white florals, but don't go in expecting a chocolate bomb; it's subtle, a touch suncream-like, and surprisingly versatile for a niche scent.

About

Carnal Cacao opens with a zesty burst of mandarin and a whisper of pink pepper, quickly giving way to a heart dominated by lush, green tuberose and bright neroli. The promised cacao is more of a dusty, earthy whisper in the background, deepening the florals rather than taking centre stage, with a touch of amber warmth from ambroxan and an unusual mossy undertone.
