Kokorico

Kokorico, a Woody Cocoa Scent

Jean Paul Gaultier Kokorico is a woody cocoa scent. Our version keeps that feel, opening with fig leaf before a cacao and patchouli heart settles over cedar and vetiver.

The Story Behind the Scent

Jean Paul Gaultier built Kokorico as a dark, woody scent, all green fig and bittersweet cacao over smooth cedar. The idea was a bold, modern masculinity.

That woody warmth is its appeal. The fig leaf keeps it green and fresh, the cacao and patchouli add a bittersweet, earthy heart, and the cedar and vetiver give it a smooth, woody base. Our interpretation follows that same bold path.
