cocoa butter fragrance

Cocoa butter fragrance is a scent ingredient designed to mimic the aroma of cocoa butter, a pale-yellow edible fat extracted from cocoa beans. It presents a cocoa odor and is used primarily in fragranced products to impart a rich, warm chocolate-like note. Synonyms include cocoa butter scent or cocoa aroma. This compound is not directly equivalent to edible cocoa butter but serves as a sensory representation in perfumery and cosmetics. The material links closely to the chemical structure profile of natural cocoa derivatives, as referenced in the PubChem database. It is typically derived from synthetic or natural sources mimicking the natural cocoa butter scent profile.

Cocoa butter fragrance occurs in the context of perfumery and personal care formulations rather than as a food ingredient. It is applied in fragranced products of all types, including perfumes, lotions, and other cosmetic items where a cocoa scent is desired. The material is recognized within fragrance ingredient standards such as FEMA (US), which assess fragrance materials for safety and application. Though related to the natural fat in cocoa beans, this fragrance is not used for flavoring due to regulatory recommendations. Its appeal lies in adding a warm, gourmand cocoa aroma to complex scent blends.

This cocoa butter fragrance demonstrates solubility in alcohol solvents, facilitating its use in alcohol-based perfumes and colognes. Its insolubility in water influences formulation choices, commonly favoring oil-based or alcoholic carriers. The inherent volatility and odor characteristics derive from the cocoa scent note, which can adapt well to ambient temperatures without degradation. These physicochemical traits support its role as a fragrance compound rather than a flavoring agent. No classified hazards have been associated with this material, indicating favorable safety profiles in typical uses.
