Overview
Dark Cocoa,
Rose & Praline
ÉCLATAUR SERAPH is a cocoa perfume – a rich, romantic Eau de Parfum handcrafted in Texas by the founder of ÉCLATAUR. Part of the ÉCLATAUR Collection, this small batch women’s perfume is built on 200-proof organic grain alcohol at 20-25% concentration, fortified with the VELUM longevity system, and macerated for thirty days before release.
SERAPH opens with Italian bergamot, roasted almond, and coffee accord, develops through dark cocoa, Bulgarian rose, jasmine sambac, and tuberose, and settles into tonka bean, praline, sandalwood, and cashmere wood. A cocoa perfume built for depth, not sweetness. For oil-based application, the SERAPH Roll-On offers the same profile in extrait concentration.
The Scent Journey
What Does SERAPH Smell Like? The Cocoa Perfume Accord
Act One
The Opening
Top Notes
Italian Bergamot · Roasted Almond · Coffee Accord
SERAPH opens with an intoxicating warmth – roasted almond and coffee accord lifted by Italian bergamot. The first impression is rich and edible without being sweet, a cocoa perfume that announces itself with the quiet confidence of dark chocolate broken in a warm room.
Act Two
The Heart
Heart Notes
Dark Cocoa Accord · Bulgarian Rose · Jasmine Sambac · Tuberose
The heart is where SERAPH reveals itself – dark cocoa accord, bitter and velvety, wrapped in Bulgarian rose and jasmine sambac, with tuberose adding creamy depth. This is the accord that makes SERAPH more than a gourmand – it is a dark cocoa fragrance with a romantic, floral soul.
Act Three
The Base
Base Notes
Tonka Bean · Praline · Sandalwood · Cashmere Wood
The dry-down settles into creamy tonka bean and praline, grounded by polished sandalwood and soft cashmere wood. This is the VELUM system at work – a gourmand base that hums on skin like silk against warmth, lingering 12 hours or more into the night.

Provenance
Handcrafted In Texas The ÉCLATAUR Standard
ÉCLATAUR was born from a question: what if I made something better, the way you would make it for the people you love most? The founder built the first fragrances for family, not for a market. Every bottle of SERAPH is still held to that original standard: if it would not be given to family, it will not be sold to you.
The cocoa and praline heart of SERAPH draws from perfumery’s richest gourmand tradition, composed into an Eau de Parfum that rewards evening wear with 12 hours of intimate warmth. Learn more about how ÉCLATAUR is made.

Application
How To Wear SERAPH
Step One
Prepare
Apply SERAPH Eau de Parfum to clean, moisturized skin for maximum absorption. Target pulse points – wrists, neck, inner elbows, and the chest – where warmth amplifies the cocoa, rose, and praline notes.
Step Two
Apply
Hold the bottle four to six inches from skin. Two to four sprays are ideal – SERAPH develops slowly, so restraint rewards. Do not rub. Let the coffee and cocoa bloom naturally.
Step Three
Layer
For intensified longevity and a richer dry-down, apply the SERAPH Roll-On to pulse points first as a base layer, then mist the spray over for full sillage and depth.
Compatibility
When To Wear SERAPH
Occasions
Evening dinners, date nights, gallery openings, candlelit celebrations, winter weddings, and quiet rituals of self-indulgence. SERAPH belongs to the hours after sunset – any moment that calls for warmth, mystery, and quiet elegance.
Seasons
SERAPH Eau de Parfum is at its peak in autumn and winter, when cocoa and praline deepen against cool air. It performs beautifully through cool spring evenings as well. In summer, apply with restraint – the gourmand base thrives in cooler temperatures.
Layering
Pair with the SERAPH Roll-On for extended wear. SERAPH layers beautifully with MYSTERIA for an amplified floral dimension, or with OPUS for a richer gourmand finish.
Gifting
Presented in a weighted matte glass bottle with gold foil detailing – gift-ready from the moment it arrives. SERAPH is a universally loved women’s fragrance: approachable for new wearers, complex enough for collectors. Not sure of the scent? Start with a tester through The Prelude first.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Cocoa Perfume
Everything you need to know about ÉCLATAUR SERAPH – from scent profile and longevity to application and how to try before committing to the full bottle.
SERAPH is a rich cocoa perfume that opens with Italian bergamot, roasted almond, and coffee accord. The heart unfolds into dark cocoa, Bulgarian rose, jasmine sambac, and tuberose, settling into tonka bean, praline, sandalwood, and cashmere wood. Indulgent, romantic, and quietly mysterious.
SERAPH delivers 12+ hours of wear on most skin types thanks to the VELUM 15-layer performance system engineered into every ÉCLATAUR Eau de Parfum. Projection is strong in the first four hours, then settles into a warm, intimate trail that lingers on skin well into the next morning.
Apply SERAPH to clean, moisturized skin at pulse points – wrists, neck, and chest – from four to six inches away. Two to four sprays are ideal. Do not rub. For deeper longevity, layer the SERAPH Roll-On underneath the spray as a base accord that anchors the cocoa dry-down.
SERAPH is handcrafted in Texas in small batches using 200-proof organic grain alcohol and macerated for 30 full days. Most gourmand fragrances lean sweet and simple. SERAPH balances dark cocoa with Bulgarian rose and tuberose for a cocoa perfume that reads romantic rather than edible.
SERAPH truly comes alive in autumn and winter, when cocoa and praline deepen against cool air. It performs beautifully on cool spring evenings as well. In high summer, apply with restraint – the gourmand base can read heavy in heat. Best worn from late afternoon onward.
