Chocolat en parfumerie : une gourmandise irrésistible surtout en diffusion olfactive

A captivating and delicious fragrance

Chocolate in perfumery is first and foremost an invitation to indulgence. Its warm, sweet and slightly bitter notes evoke childhood memories and moments of intense pleasure.


A multi-faceted ingredient

Far from being a simple gourmet pairing, chocolate turns out to be an ingredient of great complexity. In perfumery, different varieties of chocolate are used, each with its own characteristics:

  • Dark chocolate: intense and bitter, it brings a touch of depth and sophistication to perfumes. Milk chocolate: softer and rounder, it offers a milky and comforting note. White chocolate: delicious and vanilla, it brings a touch of lightness to compositions.


“Chocolate is a food that makes us feel good, and makes us want to smile.”

-Michelle Obama


A charming asset for luxury perfumes

Many renowned perfume houses have succumbed to the temptation of chocolate. Among the most famous examples:

  • “Tihota” by Serge Lutens: a captivating oriental fragrance where dark chocolate mixes with notes of spices and vanilla. “Black Opium” by Yves Saint Laurent: a bold and feminine fragrance where dark chocolate meets coffee and vanilla. “Angel” by Thierry Mugler: a gourmet and sensual perfume where dark chocolate combines with praline and patchouli.

Olfactory diffusion: chocolate to create a warm atmosphere

Chocolate isn’t just for flavors. It can also be used in olfactory diffusion to create a warm and delicious atmosphere in your interior.


Chocolate is a fascinating ingredient that offers a multitude of possibilities in perfumery and olfactory diffusion. So, don't hesitate to succumb to temptation and let yourself be captivated by its gourmet and captivating notes.
