Description
Golden Cocoa by SCENT TRUNK presents itself as a delightful, light gourmand, drawing inspiration from Jallab, a traditional Lebanese drink. It opens with a bright, sweet citrus and a hint of dew fruit, quickly evolving into a warm, spicy heart where cinnamon bark and cardamom mingle with the subtle sweetness of honey and the richness of cocoa. The fragrance settles into a comforting, ambery dry down, with tonka adding a creamy depth. This scent evokes the feeling of a decadent dessert, perfect for creating special moments. Perfumer: Nour Akoum
