Mokaya Chocolatl

A smoky banquet of dangerously erotic temptations. Perfume of the Jaguar. FEATURED NOTES INCLUDE:- H and-tinctured cacao and vanilla beans blended with absolutes of cocoa, jasmine sambac, orange blossom, labdanum, styrax, ambrette (musk from Hibiscus seeds), tobacco & smoke accord, pure distilled Indian sandalwood and aged Sumatran patchouli . Archeologists claim that cacao was first cultivated by pre-Olmec people known as the Mokaya around 2,500 BC in the dense jungles of the Soconusco region (areas of Guatemala and Mexico). Imagining the ancient world of the Mokaya , this fragrance is a study in dark, earthy scents that evoke the tropical richness of dense, steaming jungles, cascading waterfalls, fertile soil, exotic fruits and flowers, warm skin, tobacco and wood-smoke. True to my original 2013 formula, this fiercely beautiful, powdery, dark perfume is a scent-sketch of the origins of chocolate as it may well have been experienced in sacred rituals many hundreds of years ago. A deliciously raw, sexy and sometimes pungently dirty wonder, this is not, in any way, a sweetly gourmand cupcake. This is another of my characteristically wild earth-scents for nature lovers.
