DELECTABLE CACAO POWDER AND BEANS JUXTAPOSED WITH DARK BROWN AND REDDISH TINGES HIGHLIGHT THE UNDENIABLE TREAT OF CACAO

Found within native Central America, the Aztecs were among the first to encounter the cocoa bean and learn of its unique properties and introduce it to the world. It was rumored that during Cortez’s journey to Mexico City, he discovered the importance of the cocoa bean. Xocoatl, an Aztec mixture of cocoa beans blended with crushed chili pepper and cardamom, was said to be the “food of the gods,” giving gods the strength of power and knowledge. For this reason, Montezuma, the last independent Aztec king, greedy and power obsessed, drank more than fifty cups a day.

Cocoa Absolute is a precious and rare essence used in perfumery. When used, it creates a dense, rich liqueur and penetrating aroma that is undeniably addicting. The exotic scent will stimulate your senses and bring forth sweet and spicy scent memories.
