Description

Found within native Central America, the Aztec’s were among the first to encounter the cocoa bean and learn of its unique properties and introduced it to the world. It was rumoured that during Cortez’s journey to Mexico City, he discovered the importance of the cocoa bean. Xocoatl, extracted from cocoa beans, a bitter mixture blended with crushed chilli pepper and cardamom, creates a mythical elixir called “the drink of the gods”. Legend has it that it gave those who consumed this elixir the strength of ultimate power and knowledge. It is this tale that inspired the composition of Cacao Aztèque, a fragrance that surely leaves one desiring for more.
