The Scoop
Off the coast of Gabon, in the Gulf of Guinea, nestles the paradisal island of Sao Tomé, with its tourist-free beaches, ancient forests, and timber houses. It is known as Chocolate Island, for the inimitable taste and aroma of the cocoa beans grown on its plantations. The air is filled with the captivating scent of dark chocolate, a delicious hint of bitterness with slightly woody, smoky, and vanilla notes, that delight visitors.
To achieve the intense, distinctive and elegant roasted cocoa scents, the perfumer Nicolas Bonneville used a specific bean of unique quality. The base note was then enriched with woody hints of Atlas cedar, smoky amber Labdanum Vulcain reminiscent of church incense, creamy sandalwood for its enveloping, reassuring quality, and a hint of musk to warm the whole creation.
