MOKAYA Chocolatl

A smoky banquet of dangerously erotic temptations. Perfume of the Jaguar.

FEATURED NOTES INCLUDE:- Hand-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.
