Xochiquetzalli
Fragrance notes
Character
Xochiquetzalli opens with a bright mix of neroli, sweet orange, and yuzu that feels immediate and clear. Jasmine and honeysuckle add a soft white floral layer, while peach blossom brings a gentle fruit tone. A touch of cognac gives the top a faint warm edge without turning heavy.
The heart introduces orange again alongside rosemary, mint, and juniper. Mango and coconut add roundness, and vanilla smooths the sharper herbs into a calm middle. The spices stay present but never sharp, letting the fruit and vanilla lead the way.
The base rests on leather, coumarin, and ambergris with opoponax and styrax adding resinous depth. Thyme and sage keep the drydown herbal and dry, balancing the earlier sweetness. The result is aromatic, amber, woody, and balsamic with fresh and warm spicy accents throughout.
The white floral and citrus notes sit in a cool morning air, and the resinous base fits a quiet street under gray skies. The composition feels busy with many notes competing at once, and the coconut and mango can read artificial next to the herbs.
