Bright green, peppery and salty, dominated by cilantro and lime, underscored by tuberose and rose absolutes, Oaxaca is inspired by the freshness of Oaxacan cuisine and by the fact that tuberose originated from Mexico. This is not going to be for everyone, as cilantro is a divisive note and the salty lime-cilantro accord dominates, especially at first. However, the natural tuberose is also prominent and contributes to the salty, peppery green richness that runs throughout. Natural rose absolute adds depth and a soft freshness also. Because of the aldehydic-green quality of the cilantro and the saltiness in the drydown, this is especially pleasant in the summer. EDT strength but strong and lasting.

Notes include lime, cilantro, cumin, black pepper, jalapeño, salty ocean air, rose, tuberose, tobacco, patchouli, white musk.

Samples are available in the Discovery Stash, which is on the main fragrance page. Individual samples are not generally available except for new releases and significantly different batch/versions. There are several reasons for this, the best of which is that people are often surprised by which of ours they fall in love with, sometimes including ones they might not have chosen based on the listed notes.
