MAISON TAHITE Vicious Cacao EDP

Roasted cocoa, juicy raspberry and the warmth of rum give MAISON TAHITE Vicious Cacao EDP its distinctive gourmand character. Created by perfumer Luca Maffei and launched in 2021, this unisex fragrance brings together the inviting impression of a sweet treat and a deeper, more intriguing side. Rather than leaning on straightforward sugary sweetness, it layers fruit, florals and warm resins around a rich cocoa centre, making it an expressive option for anyone seeking a sophisticated chocolate perfume.

The first impression pairs ripe-smelling raspberry with rum’s boozy warmth. As the fragrance develops, roasted cocoa bean absolute is joined by caramel and salt, creating a mouth-watering contrast between sweet and savoury facets. Jasmine and green, grassy narcissus bring a more delicate floral dimension, keeping the composition from feeling like confectionery alone. This interplay gives the scent its character: indulgent, yet balanced by freshness and floral detail.

Deeper notes shape a warmer, more shadowed finish. Dark amber and balsamic benzoin add resinous depth, while creamy sandalwood lends a smooth, polished quality. A touch of saffron introduces a gently spiced, smoky impression, and oakmoss grounds the blend with an earthy note. Honeyed jasmine and narcissus soften the richer elements as the scent settles, creating an evocative contrast of dark chocolate, flowers and woods. For those looking for a unisex chocolate fragrance with more nuance than a simple sweet accord, Vicious Cacao offers plenty to explore.

• A cocoa-led gourmand profile with raspberry, rum, caramel and warm resins.
• Floral accents of jasmine and narcissus balance the richer notes.
• A distinctive option for evenings, special occasions or cooler days.
• Available in fragrance sample sizes from 1 ml to 10 ml, so you can try the scent in a format that suits you.

Its amber-toned bottle, inspired by traditional apothecary vessels, reflects the fragrance’s dark, richly layered character. The composition moves between sweet, savoury, floral and earthy impressions, making it an engaging choice for fans of cocoa-centred niche perfumery and memorable evening scents. If you are considering a niche perfume sample in Lithuania or want to explore a gourmand fragrance before choosing a larger size, select your preferred option and spend time with this unusual Maison Tahite creation.
