A plushy-soft pillow of jasmine and white chocolate, frilled around the edges with the grapefruitiness of timur berry and the citrus burst of lime and blood orange. Tonka bean fluffs the effect with its toasted vanilla nuance, while ambered woods support the structure. Very comforting, very sensual.
Parfumer: Céline Perdriel
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
A quiet afternoon spent close enough for conversation to soften into murmurs. The white-chocolate softness feels enveloping rather than sugary, while the tart citrus edge keeps the mood alert—a comforting scent with a lively spark at close quarters.
How to wear
Try it in mild or cool weather, when the creamy cacao and tonka can feel comforting without excessive sweetness. Begin with one or two sprays on skin beneath a light layer; for a brighter citrus impression, leave a wrist uncovered. Apply more sparingly in warm conditions.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to creamy gourmands but reluctant to wear straightforward dessert scents. Its jasmine softness, tart citrus and peppery Timur should appeal to wearers who enjoy sweetness interrupted by freshness, with woods giving the composition a firmer outline.

The nose
Céline Perdriel, a perfumer at Cosmo International Fragrances, created both Cacao Timur and its companion, Cacao Pimento. Here, she explores cacao through contrast, setting its soft, creamy character against bright citrus and Timur before grounding the composition in tonka and ambery woods.
Collaborators
Founder Valérie Madrid shaped the brief around exploring cacao beyond familiar gourmand treatments. She worked with Cosmo International Fragrances, which provided access to the Peruvian Porcelana white cacao material used in the project, with Céline Perdriel developing the fragrances.
La Closerie’s story
La Closerie des Parfums builds its compositions around the encounter between a central material and spices from around the world. Founded by Valérie Madrid, the French house takes its name and imaginative outlook from Parisian enclosed gardens, translating that sense of sensory escape into ingredient-led perfumes.
Cacao Timur’s concept
Cacao Timur emerged from an exploration of Peruvian Porcelana white cacao, conceived as a way to approach gourmand perfumery without repeating familiar chocolate effects. Developed alongside the warmer, roasted Cacao Pimento, it takes the brighter route: Timur and citrus sharpen a soft cacao-and-floral heart over an ambery, woody base.
Extra info
Timur contributes a grapefruit-like character, although grapefruit itself does not appear in the formal note pyramid. The cacao heart features Cacao Blanc Craftivity®, and the fragrance forms a contrasting pair with the warmer Cacao Pimento.
