Cocoa Kimiya Extrait

Cocoa Kimiya Extrait by Atelier des Ors

Alchemy of Cocoa and Kimiya. Cocoa is obvious. Subtle transmutation of «cacao». Kimiya: from the Arabic al-kīmiyā meaning alchemy.

Transmutation of metals into gold, here of evidence into abstraction, of material into immaterial, of one reality into another. Alchemy of matter. Alchemy of ourselves. Coming from the distant lands of Latin America, cocoa is considered a sacred plant, “food of the gods” (meaning of cocoa tree, theobroma in Greek).

The divine in matter. A creation around a dark and intense cocoa contrasted by the light of a singular and radiant cardamom. Rich in natural and exceptional raw materials, this 2nd extract is also at 40%, a concentration of materials as if enhanced. It oscillates between shadow and light, shine and mystery, addiction and bitterness.
