Cocoa Absolute — 10 ml

🌿 Introduction
Cocoa Absolute is a deep, gourmand, and comforting essence extracted from the roasted beans of Theobroma cacao — the “food of the gods.” Its aroma is rich, dark-chocolatey, and slightly spicy , evoking warmth, indulgence, and emotional pleasure.
More than a scent, cocoa carries cultural and sensory depth: it speaks of celebration, sensuality, and grounding joy. In perfumery, it is an irresistible base-to-heart note , blending sweetness and warmth with soft earthy undertones. In aromatherapy, it is known to soothe emotions, stimulate endorphins, and inspire comfort .
At Herbsmetics, Cocoa Absolute is featured in our Perfume & Aromatherapy Workshops in Phuket , where guests explore how gourmand materials can evoke emotion and memory through scent design.
