Fragrance notes: coffee, sugar cane, magic
This fragrance is dedicated to the colorful and diverse beliefs that are found in Voodoo worship and also to the Voodoo Queen of New Orleans herself, Marie Laveau. Devotees leave tokens at her grave in exchange for small requests. Offerings are common in Voodoo practice, especially when calling upon favors from loa spirits. Baron Samedi is perhaps the most famous of Voodoo spirits and is often represented in art dressed in a top hat, black tailcoat, and white skull face paint.
This fragrance has an invigorating base of freshly brewed black coffee, one of the offerings commonly given to Baron Samedi. It is blended with the aroma of fresh sugar cane which will sweeten the offering and improve the chances of your request being granted. Add a little creole magic to your life with this coffee-infused fragrance that will leave you swaying to the seductive rhythm of a Voodoo ritual drum.
Learn more about my inspiration:
Louisiana Voodoo was born of a fusion of West African and Haitian influences that blended with 18th century French culture in Louisiana. It incorporates the worship of ancestors and spirits called loas who can grant favors and good fortune and act as intermediaries with Bondye, the creator. Pop culture has long been fascinated with the mysterious and magical vibes surrounding Voodoo worship. From the beating drums and rhythmic chanting of elaborate rituals to shops full of potions, voodoo dolls, gris-gris bags, and countless other amulets and talismans, Voodoo has captured the imagination of many and is firmly rooted in the magic and intrigue of New Orleans.
