Rococò 26

Rococò 26 is a spicy chocolate gourmand from the Italian house The Merchant of Venice, released in 2026 and worn by anyone. Gourmand is the word everyone uses for it, most also find it spicy, and a minority pick up woody, floral, resinous or citrus notes.

Bergamot gives the opening a brief citrus brightness before the spices arrive: cloves bring a warm, slightly medicinal bite and saffron a dry, leathery heat. Cocoa and cacao pod are the heart, dark, dusty and bitter-sweet, with jasmine adding a touch of floral warmth beneath them. The base layers on the sweetness: caramel, vanilla and tonka bean give a thick, creamy richness, benzoin a balsamic resin, and patchouli an earthy depth that keeps the chocolate from floating free.

Spiced chocolate over vanilla and patchouli is a cold-weather, evening idea through and through, for someone who wants a gourmand with bite rather than simple sweetness.
