What do reviewers say about Shade of Chocolate and Cacao Porcelana?
This is a gourmand that doesn't flinch. No marshmallow softness, no vanilla. Rich cacao and dark-roasted coffee own the composition, with jasmine and tonka bean adding complexity instead of sweetness.Shade of Chocolate
The white cacao concept is compelling, but the rum and cocoa opening is assertively bitter. If you want a gentle chocolate fragrance, look elsewhere. This is for those who appreciate raw material.Cacao Porcelana
