Mariposa has curated her latest scent capturing the essence of her ancestors, the gods & goddesses of
Mount Olympus. Mariposa’s Ichor Elixir has transmuted Ichor, the fluid that flows like blood in the veins
of the gods, into the form of a perfume for the 21st century. Ichor Elixir invisibly defines one’s
divinity; it simultaneously highlights one’s softness and the strength that both protects and propels their
unique force.
Rose is the elixir’s top note, exemplary of beauty and tender enchantment. The rose’s soft fragility is
guarded by sharp thorns, requiring admirers to intentionally proceed with caution if they want to personally
indulge in the rose’s charming allure, fortified with aromatic splendor. While none are immune to the rose’s
curious magnetism, the less daring are condemned to the sidelines, to appreciate from afar.
Oud comprises the central root layer of Mariposa’s Ichor Elixir, defining the transformational touch of
magic at its core that blooms into grandeur. Ancient civilizations honorably recognized oud as exotic, rare
and enigmatic. Oud’s identity has stood the test of time – from mythology to present day – preserving
its instinctive reference to majestic treasures and wealth. Interestingly, oud is associated with spiritual, and
medicinal wealth in addition to material wealth. Oud – or agarwood – comes from the aquilaria tree. Often
thought of as “liquid gold”, it is said to dispel negative energies, soothe the spirit and possess healing
properties. Guiac wood is derived from the Palo Santo tree, which literally translates to “Holy Tree” and
blends nicely with the oud layer. Similarly, Guiac wood also possesses mythological, medicinal and
spiritual properties. For thousands of years, guiac wood is used to energetically cleanse negativity and
attract good fortune. In its blend with oud, guiac wood adds a touch of unidentifiable mystery.
Musk is at the base of Mariposa’s scarce Ichor Elixir. Musk contributes an earthly sensual desire to the
elixir. Complex and layered in itself, musk possesses a distinct earthly aroma with warm depth. As a
foundational element, musk synergistically blends and extends the duration of the fragrance along with
ambergris, which adds a woody, amber-like musky element from the coast.
In Mariposa’s Ichor Elixir, the elements are synergistically combined to develop a rare scent that is elegant,
spirited and spicy – unlike any other.
