Mojo: daring & elegant X you

Description

Bésame Mucho is a universal romantic anthem celebrating both the fierce intensity and delicate fragility of love. Composed by Mexican pianist Consuelo Velázquez at just fifteen years old—before she had ever experienced her first kiss—it became one of the most covered songs in history, recorded by The Beatles, Nat King Cole, Cesária Évora, and Plácido Domingo alike.

Christophe Raynaud was inspired by Sara Montiel’s erotic cinematic interpretatio. Superimposed against a smoky black leather accord, a vibrant splash of blood mandarin opens into luxurious orris, culminating in an exquisite drydown of Atlas cedarwood and white sandalwood.

Olfactory notes

Top: blood mandarin, incense, pink pepper

Mucho
