Description
Azabache Chapter 2, a fragrant collaboration with the fashion designer Arturo Obegero, is a sophisticated olfactory journey that captures the essence of nostalgia and modernity intertwined. This fragrance is an homage to the contrasting yet harmonious memories of nostalgic sea waves and surf wax, intertwined with the sweet, floral scents reminiscent of a grandmother’s rose garden, all while carrying the serene and solemn spirit of ancient churches. Launched in 2021 as a mature iteration of its predecessor, Azabache Chapter 2 retains the original spirit but elevates it with a more refined, contemporary twist.
The fragrance opens with a vibrant burst of pink pepper, its spicy, slightly rosy and zesty character immediately captivating. This is beautifully complemented by the citrusy freshness of bergamot and the floral, green notes of geranium, setting a delicate yet dynamic stage for the heart notes to unfold.
As the heart of the fragrance emerges, it reveals a rich, floral tapestry of rose, jasmine, and lily of the valley, each element contributing its unique qualities to the blend. Rose brings its classic, deeply floral and slightly sweet aroma, symbolizing love and beauty. Jasmine adds a heady, intoxicating touch, enhancing the fragrance’s depth and allure. Lily of the valley introduces a fresh, green floral note, adding a touch of spring-like innocence. Verbena, with its lemony scent, injects a light, refreshing crispness, bridging the transition between the top notes and the base.
The base of Azabache Chapter 2 grounds the fragrance with a warm, balsamic blend of labdanum, frankincense, and myrrh, each adding its own layer of complexity. Labdanum offers a sweet, woody, and amber scent, while frankincense and myrrh contribute their revered, aromatic, and resinous qualities, invoking the solemnity of ancient rituals. Musk adds a touch of sensuality and warmth, while cedar, amber, and vetiver provide a rich, woody backbone, reinforcing the fragrance’s depth and lasting power.
