Perfumer: Mathieu Nardin
Whrereas the EdP option smells drier and has plenty of puffs and mini explosions of black pepper, the extrait version of Cacao Azteque is much more animalic and naughty (perhaps heavier on cacao and sandalwood).
Perris are rebalancing each composition for the extrait version. They shift the focus from the top notes to the base raising the amounts of base ingredients to achieve a richer, more opulent and luxurious effect. Pure indulgence in the theme.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is a close-range fragrance for evenings that feel warm, dim and slightly unruly, when the room can catch the scent’s pepper, cocoa and leather without it needing to announce itself. It suits a confident, tactile presence rather than a polished one.
How to wear
Best in cool weather, where its cocoa, leather and woody base can unfold slowly without becoming too heavy. Apply sparingly: one or two sprays are enough for a dense extrait, especially on skin and clothing, where it will read richer and more animalic as it settles.
Who it’s for
For those who like dark gourmand woods, peppery openings and leather with a sensual edge. It will appeal to wearers who prefer textured, slightly wild compositions over clean sweetness, and who enjoy extrait concentration with depth and presence.
The nose
Mathieu Nardin is a contemporary perfumer known for polished, textural compositions that balance clarity with warmth. His work often moves between luminous spice, woods and sensual materials, with a modern, supple finish rather than heavy ornament. For Cacao Azteque Extrait, his style suits the brief well: the fragrance leans into cocoa, pepper and leather, then deepens into a richer base in the extrait format. The result is less about sparkle than about density, texture and a more intimate, animalic trail.
Collaborators
Gian Luca Perris, the brand’s founder and creative director, shapes the house’s direction and its emphasis on traditional materials, modern refinement and a more opulent extrait structure. In this fragrance, that approach is reflected in the rebalancing toward the base, which gives the composition its darker, richer character.
Perris Monte Carlo’s story
Perris Monte Carlo is a niche house built on the meeting of tradition and modernity, with a strong focus on natural materials, craftsmanship and elegant, contemporary composition. The brand’s collections are designed to feel luxurious through scent itself rather than through surface spectacle.
Cacao Azteque Extrait’s concept
Cacao Azteque Extrait is presented as a deeper, more animalic reworking of the Eau de Parfum, with the formula shifted toward the base for greater richness and volume. The extrait format amplifies the cocoa-and-leather theme and turns the peppery opening into something more opulent, sensual and indulgent.
Extra info
Cacao Azteque is part of Perris Monte Carlo’s Extraits de Parfum direction, where formulas are rebalanced toward the base for a more luxurious effect. The extrait is described as more animalic than the Eau de Parfum, with cocoa and sandalwood pushed into a richer, more indulgent register.
