A juicy, decadent take on tropical fruits, flowers and woods. Inspired by a modernist garden in the balmy city of Mêrida, Yucatán. A spritz of paradise.
With notes of champaca orchids, ripe guava, fresh ginger, Mexican vanilla and mahogany.
Inspiration: New Year’s Eve 2022, Mérida, Yucatán.
Fireworks light up the night sky of old Mérida, their glow reflecting on the rippling surface of a pool. Hidden behind an unassuming colonial facade lies this modernist oasis, where glass and travertine surfaces frame a garden brimming with life: palm trees, bird of paradise flowers, leafy ginger plants bordering the pool. A guava tree, heavy with ripe fruit, fills the air with sweetness, mingling with the heady scent of champaca blossoms and the deep aroma of tropical woods. Beneath the tree, a weathered Mayan idol lies half-buried, silently whispering the ancient stories woven into the everyday of this vibrant city.
TOP NOTES:
