Mocha Musc 2 Gram Attar

Description

Mocha Musc – Fragrance Oil by Perito Moreno

Crafted by Nitish Dixit

Mocha Musc is a woody, musky gourmand fragrance designed for those who want something personal, full-bodied, and layered. You may find it reminds you of sitting on a teakwood bench, holding a warm cup of rare coffee, as a sleek, musky cat brushes past your legs. That’s the kind of emotional space this attar lives in.

The first thing you’ll notice is the unexpected contrast. Bright top notes of lemon and lime give it a clean lift, but don’t mistake this for a citrus perfume. That freshness exists only to create tension with the deeper ingredients that take over quickly. Within minutes, you’re introduced to cocoa absolute—dense, bitter, and rich—playing off tonka bean’s softer, almost almond-like quality. There’s a sweetness, but it’s never sugary.

Now let’s talk about the coffee: this isn’t your average roast. The use of Kopi Luwak, one of the rarest and most controversial coffees in the world, brings in depth, mild bitterness, and an earthy complexity that sits beautifully with East Indian oud. Together, they create a heart that’s both smoky and dark, but grounded in comfort.

Then there’s the civet effect. It’s not actual civet, but a carefully aged recreation that mimics the warm, animalic softness found in vintage French extraits. This note is often misunderstood. In this case, it’s what makes the attar stick to your skin like a second layer. Funnily enough, the note of fennel in this blend can trick the nose—it has a certain sharp, slightly pungent muskiness that might make you confuse it with civet. This is intentional. It makes the perfume more intriguing with wear.

If you’re wondering how such a sophisticated structure came together, here’s something worth knowing: this wasn’t built over weeks. Mr. Nitish Dixit, our in-house perfumer, blended this in a single session using in-house aged bases he had developed over the years. That’s where deep experience matters. Knowing how cocoa behaves next to oud, how civet reconstruction will bloom with sandalwood, or how fennel can act as a subtle modifier—these are not decisions that come from guesswork. This is the result of years of studying natural materials, failed attempts, and understanding how different climates, distillations, and origins affect oil behavior.

The musky drydown rests on a blend of teakwood, Indian sandalwood, and just a touch of warmth from the tonka bean. It’s not powdery, not sharp—just comforting in a way that lingers long after you’ve stopped noticing it.

So, ask yourself: do you enjoy wearing a scent that evolves through the day and keeps offering something new every hour? Are you the kind of person who wants their perfume to feel like a signature, not a statement?
