Mezcal & Masa

The Scent Story


A celebration of two important foods and flavors of South America, both mezcal and masa offer a multitude of nuanced notes in terms of the plants themselves and the way they are processed before consuming. The agave plants used for mezcal are roasted before fermentation, caramelizing the natural sugars in the piñas, giving the mezcal its distinct smoky flavor and all sorts of other subtle nuances. The corn undergoes nixtamalization, in which the kernels are soaked and cooked in slaked lime. In addition to making the corn easier to grind and digest, it also changes the flavor and scent, giving it a unique South American profile. No matter where you consume these foods, you are brought in spirit to Mesoamerica.

Mezcal & Masa perfume is a boozy gourmand that stands out for its use of salt rather than sweet gourmand notes. The perfume opens with grains of Salt and a burst of Pineapple Sage, a plant native to Mexico. The bright, red flowers are edible and have a sweet, fruity flavor and smell like pineapple when crushed. A unique Roasted Corn note is next, the ancient grains marrying beautifully with the Mezcal accord that follows. Multi-faceted, boozy, and smokey, mezcal spirits offer a complex smell/taste profile. By turns: fruity, vanillic, caramel, phenolic, bready and burnt, this beverage is a perfume unto itself and the beating heart of our fragrance. A South American Incense accord featuring Copal and Palo Santo is combined with Guiacwood and Cabreuva to firmly anchor this composition in the Americas. A touch of Vetiver and a subtle Suede note complete the composition.
