COPAL AZUR exudes the lush and spiritual vibrations of sacred Tulum. Lashes of sea spray and breaths of the jungle where the jaguar nests.
Copal Blue
Eau de Parfum 100ml
NOSE: Bertrand Duchaufour
YEAR 2014
Soft clouds of burning copal swirling over Tulum inspire a beach scent like no other.
Incense is an olfactory thread that runs through much of the AEDES DE VENUSTAS collection. This millennial holocaust to the gods is at the very origin of perfumery, since the very word "perfume" comes from the Latin perumo, which translates to "through smoke". Who better than Duchaufour to bring incense from the church to the coastal jungle?
ABOUT THE TOP NOTE: Surprisingly similar to frankincense, copal, whose name means “incense” in Nahuatl, can be extracted from a variety of trees native to Central and South America. And just like frankincense in ancient Egypt or Greece, it was burned by the Mayans and Aztecs to “feed” the gods. Today, it is still used in Mexico for spiritual purposes. Since copal resin cannot be used as a perfume ingredient, three different extractions of frankincense are used to evoke it from top notes to base notes, making up an extravagant 30% of the formula.
Ozone and salty notes call to mind the Caribbean Sea and local cenotes, the underground freshwater pools that dot the Yucatan Peninsula. A flash of green references the lush Mexican jungles, cardamom peeks through the damp, woody undergrowth of patchouli and myrrh, and a touch of almond-scented tonka bean and amber, for the jaguar god of earthly fire, references the roundness of copal and the fiery glow of its embers.
Notes: copal, ozone, salt, incense, resin, cardamom, patchouli, myrrh, tonka bean, amberVittoria Profumi's advice: If you love incense-based perfumes that remain saline. COPAL AZUR is hypnotic, spiritual and powerful, a wildly transportive perfume with an iconoclastic expression of incense at its core.
