Womanthismonth.com May 2024 79 FOR THE DISCERNING CONNOISSEUR – MARACOCA The Geneva-based luxury fragrance atelier, AMAFFI, has revealed the debut of its latest scents, Maracoca, for men and women. Maracoca’s blend of extremely rare and difficult-to-source ingredients is a testament to the dedication and precision required to create a true work of art. Maracoca for Women, created by Master Perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour, is a seductive harmony of sensual jasmine, sweet white gardenia, spicy frangipani, and additional notes of tonka beans, passion fruit, and lively yuzu. “For Maracoca, the idea was to create a wonderful perfume, representing an orange blossom, that can smell like a flower on its own, but also with nuance of neroli oil. The luminosity and effervescence of the perfume is achieved through a delicate balance of exotic fruit notes, with mango and neroli oil melding seamlessly together to create an enticing olfactory symphony,” says Duchaufour. Maracoca is housed in a lavish lacquered box, finished in a pristine pearl white hue and adorned with an abstract multi-coloured motif. The box features a gleaming medallion bearing the fragrance name and a lock with the AMAFFI Perfume House logo, while the interior of the box is lined in removable plush pink velvet that allows the box to be repurposed as an elegant jewellery box.
