Cacao District No. 07 — Inspired by Bond No. 9 TriBeCa (2020)

A sophisticated gourmand that pairs dry cocoa and raw hazelnut with creamy jasmine and cedar. Caramel is present, but moss and ambroxan stop the fragrance from becoming dessert-like.

Fragrance Notes and Development

Top Notes

Cacao absolute and green hazelnut. This opening creates the first impression and sets the fragrance’s brightness, freshness or spice level.

Heart Notes

Jasmine sambac and cedarwood. The centre gives the scent its main personality and becomes clearer after the opening begins to soften.

Base Notes

Caramel, ambroxan, moss and warm woods. These materials form the lasting drydown and determine whether the scent feels clean, woody, creamy, sweet or smoky on skin.

Overall Scent Summary

A sophisticated gourmand that pairs dry cocoa and raw hazelnut with creamy jasmine and cedar. Caramel is present, but moss and ambroxan stop the fragrance from becoming dessert-like. It is best suited to autumn and winter and works particularly well for gallery evenings, date nights, cocktail bars and dressier weekends.

Estimated Longevity

• EDT: approximately 7–9 hours on skin.
• EDP: approximately 9–12 hours on skin, with a fuller base and stronger presence.

Wear time is an estimate rather than a guarantee. Skin type, climate, spray count, clothing and storage can change performance.

Style and Wearing Guide

Pair it with camel coats, black denim, suede, cashmere and modern jewellery. Use two to four sprays for work or shared indoor spaces. Add one extra spray for evening or outdoor wear. For exercise, apply after showering rather than before intense training.

Perfumer’s Note

“The composition is shaped around contrast: a clear opening, a recognisable heart and a drydown that remains polished without losing character.”

FAQ

Should I choose EDT or EDP?

Choose EDT for a lighter daytime effect. Choose EDP for greater depth, projection and a longer drydown.
