Mokaya

I have a varied fragrance wardrobe. Some I wear to refresh, some to feel pretty, some to feel sexy. Mokaya is none of these. It is my comfort blanket when it is cold and I'm in need of transport to another time and place that is warm and sensual. It is not overtly sweet, or pretty - it is in it's own South American world. It is delicious Mole sauces, and fragrant gardens of heady white flowers. And then...it settles into the memory of all this laid out on a comforting bed of vanilla and cassie absolute. Teone has somehow bottled the headiness of the ancient Aztec air - deep raw cacao and fragrant earthy tobacco and balanced it perfectly with the heavy, moist scent of jasmine at dusk. It begins dark and raw, and finishes smooth and silky. I have luxuriated in every drop. Mokaya can easily be worn by both men and women - there is more than enough in this confection to be loved by both. We all search for fragrances that feel as though they belong on our skin, that challenges our concept of scent - this is mine.

From among the oeuvre of Teone Reinthal's all natural perfumes, where fairies dance, holy men fraternize and unicorns appear, comes this dominatrix of a fragrance. This is what Slumberhouse's Ore aspired to be. Instead that turned out to be a tamed chocolate butter cookie. Mokaya blazes the trail with a blast of bitter apothecarial tobacco and unsweetened cocoa. It rushes up your sinuses straight to your mind like a hit of cocaine. And just like that, you're in the mood to spank or be spanked. The smokiness of tobacco leaves swirls around a musky ambrette, setting the stage for an evening of forbidden play. Brutal. Erotic. Smouldering. Very good. For those who are tired of overly embellished tobacco scents or smelling like a prepubescent chocolate biscuit. This gets down to business.

Full-bodied and well-blended as usual with TRNP fragrances. This has rich and realistic accords/notes that lend gourmand impressions. If you’re a chocolate lover, this is something to sample! On first smell I was reminded a little of Ambre Loup; but that fragrance feels like a 2D and synthetically composed version of this - no offense to Rania J. The bottle this came in was elegant with a genuine wood cap.

i actually get corn, not sweet corn but deep seared corn with sweet earthy notes of mole at the opening. this, for me, is close to the open market at oaxaca. it has been many years since my last trip there, but this reminds me of the sultry air. odors of jungle fruit and flowers, and, of course, chocolate in endless varieties. it is a private and very personal reminiscence. exotic and spicy. the progression through drydown is rich and warm. great longevity

This smells like corn. And a human body smell. Not my favorite from this brand.
