Cacao Pimento - La Closerie - Bloom Perfumery

A burst of saffron-infused rum, ignited by the fire of allspice, with a flowing heart of cocoa subtly amplified by cinnamon leaf. The opulent sillage is steeped in all the roasted notes: tonka bean, hazelnut, coffee.

Perfumer: Céline Perdriel

All about this fragrance

Vibe check

A cold evening, coats set aside, conversation settling into a slower rhythm. Rum and allspice give the opening a sociable warmth; cacao, tobacco and roasted coffee bring a more intimate, unhurried presence as the evening unfolds.

How to wear

Best suited to cool weather, when its rum, spice and roasted sweetness can feel enveloping rather than heavy. Start with one or two sprays on the torso or wrists, leaving room for the generous trail to develop; use a lighter hand in warm rooms or close company.

Who it’s for

For those who enjoy gourmand fragrances with spice, roast and woody depth rather than straightforward confectionery sweetness. Particularly appealing to lovers of rum, coffee and tobacco accords who want cacao framed by allspice and cinnamon leaf.

Release year

2025

The nose

Céline Perdriel created both Cacao Pimento and its companion, Cacao Timur, exploring contrasting expressions of cacao. Here, she draws out its warmer side through rum, Jamaican allspice and roasted notes, balancing gourmand sweetness with blond tobacco and sandalwood.

Collaborators

Founder Valérie Madrid shaped the cacao collection’s creative direction, approaching Cosmo International Fragrances to explore Peruvian white Porcelana cacao. She developed the collection with Céline Perdriel, placing this ingredient at the centre of two contrasting spice pairings.

La Closerie’s story

Founded by Valérie Madrid, La Closerie des Parfums builds its fragrances around the encounter between a precious central material and spices from around the world. Its name evokes intimate Parisian gardens, while its creative approach combines French perfumery expertise with ingredients chosen for their distinctive origins and character.

Cacao Pimento’s concept

Cacao Pimento belongs to the house’s fifth ingredient-focused collection, following explorations of rose, oud, iris and patchouli. Inspired by Peruvian white Porcelana cacao, it takes a warm, rum-soaked and roasted direction, contrasting with the fresher, citrus-accented Cacao Timur.

Extra info

The pimento in the name refers to Jamaican allspice, not chili pepper. Its cacao material is identified as Cacao Blanc Craftivity®, derived from Peruvian Porcelana cacao. Hazelnut appears in the fragrance’s descriptive imagery rather than its formal note pyramid, which also includes upcycled sandalwood.
