Adam Michael has this to say “Opening notes of this Cocoa colourless absolute are intensely rich dark chocolate, roasted cocoa beans, wet and luscious. The heart is milk chocolate and wholegrain breakfast cereal bars with a pleasant bitter sweetness. Combines especially well with tonka, coumarin notes, coffee, hazelnut CO2, Cherry CO2. Banana CO2, vanilla, honey and provides interesting effects when used with tuberose, osmanthus, blue lotus and even peppermint. Much easier to work with than cocoa absolute but does not have the same tenacity or longevity.”
Although the word “colourless” is contained in the product name, the colour is actually very pale chocolate brown. This material is of a pourable viscosity. This material is produced by a two-step process: first solvent extraction of Theobroma cacao, then via co-distillation with a second solvent.

If you’re looking for a dark chocolate aroma that is not too sweet, this is the one. It’s very easy to work with and you don’t need too much. I found that pairing it with florals creates a rich, beautiful yin-yang balance.

Cocoa absolute is all about dark chocolate, definitely for Choco lowers. So thick and deep. For me it goes perfectly with lovely tobacco. But I guess with different ingredients possible to play from dark chocolate to the more sweet variations. Very nice material for creations

This material is excellent to use in oil base attars as it can dilute easily..warm .rich and chocolate smell to play with tobacco, osmanthus, vanilla, patchouli and
a drop of blackcurrant…

Paired it just recently with patchouli heart tobacco virginia different woods vetiver etc. and i will let it blend for a few months.., the first test was surprisingly good and i am very excited how it will develop after a couple of months.

Warm, rich chocolate-y deliciousness. Wonderful because you get deep chocolate without too much sweetness!

A gourmand lovers dream. Blends with Patchouli, Coffee and Vanilla perfectly.
I was a little surprised by the colour as I was expecting it to be, as the name says, completely clear. Im guessing that its a lot lighter than your usual Cocoa Absolute.

Does what it says on the tin! If you are a chocolate lover (who isn’t?) you will love this oil. Easier to work with than other examples I have encountered.
