Gourmand

Cocoa absolute smells like pure, unadulterated chocolate—but deeper and more complex than a chocolate bar. Imagine breaking open a freshly roasted cacao pod: there's that rich, slightly bitter earthiness with warming spice notes underneath. It's decadent without being sickly sweet, with a powdery, almost velvety texture to the scent. There's a subtle nuttiness and a whisper of fermentation—that slightly fermented, almost winey quality that real cacao possesses. It's comfort in olfactory form.

Spicy

Pink pepper smells nothing like table pepper—it's far more refined and surprising. Imagine biting into a fresh red berry, then discovering a subtle peppery tingle on your tongue that fades to a delicate floral warmth. There's a bright, almost citrusy sharpness upfront, followed by a soft spiciness reminiscent of ground cinnamon or clove, but gentler, more elegant. It's peppery without heat, fruity without sweetness—think of crushed pink peppercorns dusted over rose petals.
