Maison Tahité - Officine Creative Profumi Vicious Cacao is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Luca Maffei. Vicious Cacao opens with Pink Pepper, Raspberry, and Rum, settles into a heart of Cacao Pod, Amber, Jasmine, and Narcissus, and dries down to a base of Salt, Sandalwood, Oakmoss, and Saffron. Maison Tahité - Officine Creative Profumi's Vicious Cacao carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Vicious Cacao is a divisive one. Some smell an intoxicating, sophisticated gourmand that demands compliments, while others get a weak, synthetic mess that vanishes before you've even properly settled into it. Definitely one to try before you buy.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

This perfume is best suited for colder weather evenings or intimate settings due to its gourmand nature and the rum accord. While some find its performance strong enough for a general casual occasion, many report it being a skin scent, making it less ideal for formal events or the office where a more universally appealing and less cloying scent profile is preferred.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine a boozy, spiced raspberry jam, generously drizzled over a sophisticated chocolate cake. This isn't your average sweet gourmand; there's a dry, almost powdery cacao alongside a hint of salt and the warmth of rum. As it settles, caramel and soft sandalwood emerge, wrapped in a comfortable amber glow, grounding the initial fruity-boozy spark with a touch of nuanced luxury.
