Copal Azur – Eau de Parfum

Aedes de Venustas - Copal Azur - Eau de Parfum

Discover the enchanting essence of Aedes de Venustas Copal Azur, a fragrance that embarks the senses on a mesmerizing journey through the mystical landscapes of Tulum. Nestled on the Caribbean coast of Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula, Tulum is famed for its ancient Mayan port town and preserved ruins, inspiring a fragrance that resonates with history and allure. Drawing from the sacred rituals and lush surroundings of Mayan culture, Copal Azur captures the essence of ancient temples and dense jungles, while the gentle whispers of the Caribbean Sea infuse the air with a sense of serenity and mystery. At the heart of this captivating Eau de Parfum lies the essence of Copal, the sacred Mayan incense.

Perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour skillfully blends three distinct extractions of this traditional incense, crafting a fragrance that showcases Copal in all its multifaceted glory. The olfactory voyage begins with fresh ozonic and salty notes, echoing the refreshing sea breeze of the Caribbean. As the journey unfolds, deep nuances of patchouli and myrrh conjure visions of the region's mysterious cenotes, while hints of cardamom evoke the spicy richness of the Mexican jungle. In the fragrance's evolution, a sensual fusion emerges, as sweet tonka bean and almond accents envelop the senses in warmth and comfort. Amber, symbolizing the ancient Mayan deity of earthly fire, adds a hypnotic and spiritual aura to Copal Azur, completing its captivating composition. Not only does Copal Azur captivate through its scent, but its sophisticated bottle design also reflects its cultural depth and sensual elegance. Adorned with peacock blue accents and a matte black cap, the bottle embodies the intensity and allure of this enchanting fragrance, merging past and present into a captivating olfactory experience.
