3. Posada is tenderly reminiscent
of Mexico’s 9-day celebration
originally derived in honor of
the winter solstice and the god
of the sun. The alluring
raspberry oud wood fragrance,

lavender, rose, and vanilla,
evokes images of the festivals in
the streets of Mexico, cherished
by Sandra and her family.

black currant and grapefruit,
embodies the enigmatic beauty of
Sandra’s beloved flower.

4. Dia de Campo, or “Day in the
fields,” boasts beautifully
balanced notes of bergamot, fig,
violet leaves and bamboo,
evoking a sense of rapturous
escape into the stunning
countryside of Mexico. Indeed,
Sandra’s weekend getaways were
often spent picnicking with
friends amid the wondrously
bucolic vistas of her beloved
country.

paradisiacal place, celebrated

and watermelon accents,
transports Sandra to this place
of unparalleled beauty.

5. Pisca celebrates the harvest of
the cacao bean, known as the
“food of the gods” in Aztec
culture and embraced for its
aphrodisiacal qualities. The rich
blend of cacao, coconut, juniper
berries, black amber and vetiver
oil is equally as invigorating as it
is sensuously soothing… just like
chocolate, indeed Sandra’s
favorite sweet.

coconut, rhubarb | Mid Note:
cacao, wild fig, cyclamen | Base
Note: vanilla, vetiver,
sandalwood
Xochimilco, called the "Place of
flowers" by the Aztecs,
remembers the rich history of
Xochimilco Lake, once
surrounded by a vast expanse of
fertile gardens. The deliciously
ambrosial notes of red currant,
peach and praline, accented with
hints of geranium & eucalyptus,
conjure images of the
celebrated waterway, today
transformed into a maze of
canals where Sandra and friends
gathered for afternoon picnics.

spearmint | Mid Note: geranium,
eucalyptus, lilac | Base Note:
praline, peach , musk 5

6. Amores, a delicious mixture of
pine needles, amber, cinnamon, and
sandalwood, is a delightfully
warming fragrance. The woody
accents conjure images of
soothing evenings spent by the
fireplace in the company of family
and friends, a leisure that Sandra
much enjoyed during visits to her
grandmother’s home.
