RITUAL SACRIFICE TASTES LIKE CHOCOLATE.

THE ORIGINS OF A FORBIDDEN PLEASURE

Mesoamerica, many centuries before the Spanish conquest.

Among the tropical forests, monumental pyramids, and smoking altars of ancient Mesoamerican civilizations, cacao held a privileged place in the relationship between humanity and the divine. It was the peoples of these lands, from the Olmecs to the Maya and the Aztecs, who developed the earliest traditions of chocolate as a ritual beverage, transforming cacao beans into a precious substance, a symbol of power, fertility, and spirituality.

Cacao was ground, mixed with water, and sometimes enriched with spices, giving rise to a bitter, intense, ceremonial drink. Its consumption accompanied religious celebrations, offerings to the gods, and rituals through which the earthly world symbolically came into contact with the supernatural. A sacred ingredient destined, over the centuries, to become one of humanity’s most irresistible pleasures.

It is precisely this transformation that inspires CHOXICO, a name born from the fusion of three words: CHOCOLATE, TÓXICO, and MÉXICO. Three elements that embody the identity of the fragrance: chocolate as an ancestral pleasure, toxicity as a metaphor for irresistible sensory intoxication, and Mexico as the birthplace of its inspiration. Cacao thus becomes a symbol of desire, a temptation capable of intoxicating the senses, fueling obsession, and awakening an irresistible need to relive the same experience.

A FRIENDSHIP TRANSFORMED INTO PERFUME

The birth of CHOXICO is also the story of a special encounter, a friendship, and a shared passion for artistic perfumery. It all began one year earlier, when CASA ESENZA, a magnificent artistic perfumery boutique located in the elegant Polanco district of Mexico City, invited SPIRITICA to introduce its creations to the Mexican public.

That encounter marked the beginning of a genuine bond, nurtured by a love for artistic fragrances, olfactory curiosity, and a shared vision of perfumery as an art form, a cultural expression, and an emotional experience. From this friendship emerged the desire to create something unique, capable of celebrating Mexico through SPIRITICA’s provocative, sensory, and paranormal language.

Thus, CHOXICO was born, a creation developed exclusively for CASA ESENZA and the Mexican market, a tribute to an extraordinary land and to the people who helped build this connection. To bring the composition to life, Daniele Muratori Caputo renewed his artistic collaboration with Daniele Cerroni, also the perfumer behind MANGOMACUMBA, one of SPIRITICA’s most beloved bestsellers. Together, the two creators explore the boldest territories of perfumery, intertwining the gourmand sensuality of chocolate with the mystical dimension of Mesoamerican rituals.

The result is a fragrance that embodies far more than geographical inspiration: a meeting of cultures, a friendship transformed into perfume, and a declaration of love for artistic perfumery.

NOT JUST ANOTHER GOURMAND

CHOXICO interprets this vision through a dark, psychedelic, and deeply sensual gourmand composition, where the sweetness of chocolate meets the warmth of spices, the intoxication of fermentation, and the mystery of sacred resins. An olfactory experience that is intoxicating, exhilarating, and addictive, suspended between pleasure and transgression, spirituality and carnality.

The opening is explosive, a truly mouthwatering gourmand experience. The sensation is that of having a freshly baked dessert right beneath your nose, still warm, prepared by blending different varieties of chocolate: dark, extra dark, creamy, and velvety. A rich, enveloping, almost edible accord in which layers of cacao overlap, creating an iridescent and intoxicating effect, as though every breath revealed a new texture, a different intensity, another irresistible temptation.

Yet CHOXICO is far more than a simple gourmand. Behind this irresistible indulgence lies an extraordinarily intricate olfactory architecture, built upon unexpected contrasts between sweetness and bitterness, warmth and darkness, sensuality and spirituality. Agave introduces a vegetal, liqueur-like nuance, while habanero pepper cuts through the cacao with a spicy, pungent vibration. The Mexican hallucinogenic mushroom accord adds earthy, visionary suggestions, intertwining with the skin-like sensuality of the human skin accord.

It is precisely this layering that makes CHOXICO so distinctive: a complex, multifaceted, profoundly artistic fragrance that remains surprisingly wearable. Every element, even the most provocative, finds its own balance within the composition, creating a harmonious, enveloping, magnetic perfume that evolves on the skin without losing its gourmand identity.

A chocolate that seduces from the very first moment, yet reveals, breath after breath, a much deeper olfactory universe.

In the heart, the experience deepens and takes on a ritualistic dimension. Bitter cocoa reveals its full intensity, while pulque, an ancient fermented beverage made from agave, introduces tangy, milky nuances that give the composition an intoxicating, untamed character. Copal, a resin traditionally used in Mesoamerican ceremonies, releases an incense-like facet that intertwines with smoke, evoking altars and offerings slowly consumed by fire.

Within this sacred atmosphere emerge the olfactory accords of blood and bones, evocations of the darkest dimension of ancient Mesoamerican rituals. In some of these cultures, human sacrifice carried profound religious significance: blood was considered a precious offering to the deities, a vital element through which human beings symbolically helped preserve cosmic balance and the cycle of life and death. Blood thus becomes a metallic, raw, deeply evocative olfactory presence, intertwining with bitter cocoa, copal, and the smoke of the altars. A sensory representation of the ancestral connection between body and spirit, pleasure and sacrifice, life and death.

The cacao gradually becomes infused with smoke and resins, transforming its sweetness into an increasingly dark, carnal, and magnetic sensation. It is here that the soul of CHOXICO fully reveals its true nature: a pleasure that intoxicates, a sweetness that seduces, a desire that becomes obsession.

In the base, the composition becomes warm, deep, and enveloping. Tobacco releases aromatic, dry, slightly smoky nuances, while benzoin adds a balsamic sweetness that prolongs the sensuality of chocolate. Warm wax recalls matter slowly melting beneath a flame, evoking the heat of the altars and the intimacy of a ritual just completed. The suggestions of feathers and animalic notes introduce a skin-like, instinctive, profoundly human dimension, intensifying the carnal character of the composition.

Cacao, tobacco, and resins merge into a noticeable yet deliberately restrained trail, accompanying the wearer with elegance and discretion. Longevity is substantial, while projection remains balanced, allowing the richness of the composition to be appreciated without becoming overwhelming. This is a deliberate choice, particularly considering the extraordinary indulgence of the opening and the sweetness that runs throughout the fragrance’s evolution.

CHOXICO captivates with an explosive opening, yet chooses to remain on the skin with a more intimate and refined sensuality. It is precisely this balance between initial intensity, artistic complexity, and wearability that makes it so distinctive: a fragrance capable of surprising without overpowering, of seducing without imposing itself.

Like the memory of an experience too intense to be forgotten, CHOXICO leaves a sensory imprint on the skin, inviting you to return, again and again, to the same temptation.

CHOCOLATE, THE SKULL, AND THE RITUAL OF DISCOVERY

The design of CHOXICO also holds symbolism deeply connected to Mexican culture. The cap, inspired by the world of chocolate, conceals a second identity: when viewed vertically, it reveals the silhouette of a traditional Mexican skull, evoking the iconography of calaveras and the tradition of Día de Muertos. A detail that transforms an apparently delicious object into a symbol of death, celebrated in Mexican culture through colors, offerings, and rituals of remembrance.

The packaging completes this sensory experience through a presentation as unusual as it is precious. The bottle is entirely wrapped in a single sheet of golden aluminum foil and vacuum-sealed, just like an exquisite luxury chocolate bar. A wrapping that transforms the perfume into an object of desire, evoking the irresistible gesture of unwrapping a precious, forbidden chocolate. Opening the package thus becomes an integral part of the ritual: a moment of anticipation, curiosity, and seduction, where the boundaries between artistic perfumery and gourmand art dissolve.

A COLLECTOR’S EXCLUSIVE

CHOXICO is an exclusive edition conceived for Mexico and created in collaboration with CASA ESENZA. Only an extremely limited number of bottles have been reserved for the European market, available exclusively through the official SPIRITICA website.

A rarity intended for fragrance enthusiasts and collectors who wish to own a fragment of this encounter between cultures, ritual, and artistic perfumery.

The ritual is complete. The smoke slowly dissolves into the air, while the bitter taste of cacao lingers on the lips and, upon the skin, remains the irresistible desire to begin again.

CHOXICO — PLEASURE BECOMES SACRIFICE. SACRIFICE BECOMES DESIRE.
