Essence
Ofrenda is the bittersweetness of life and death.

Inspiration
The familial altar.

Shroud
Bitter chocolate lifted by lime, mezcal and chile poured out in offering—sacred smoke, silky woods, warm vanilla glow on skin.

Notes
bergamot, chile ancho, lime, mezcal, cempasuchil (Mexican marigold), cocaloxochitl (red plumeria/frangipani), omixochitl (tuberose), cacao, candle wax, corn silk, tobacco, vanilla

Conjuration
Ofrenda awakens and nourishes the ancestral altar, whether an ofrenda dedicated to lost loved ones and beloved dead or the body as sacred altar, inheritance of life. It is an offering to all who write the lines of ancestral stories.
