About the Brand
“While at the Aztec pyramids of Teotihuacan, we had a dream. We dreamed of a perfume that never existed. Xocolatl. The drink of the gods. On our return we began to experiment. The finest cocoa beans, pepper, cardamom and tuberose … The colours of the earth and sky… A fragrance resurrected from the past…”
To begin with, the way the Aztecs valued and used cocoa has no equivalent today. Spicy and stimulating, Xocolatl was a potion drunk only by kings, giving them God-like wisdom and power. To recreate the magical world of Central America, we went back to the cocoa tree and its brown beans. We added spices and rum. Perfumes of the earth and desert. Dense, liqueur-like notes. The result is a fragrance that takes us over, adding at least a little of that lost magic to our daily lives.
Our fragrance makes the imagination soar in the company of modern shaman Carlos Castaneda, of the great Federico Fellini and his Trip to Tulum, the film he dreamt of but never made.
Born in 2011 from the extensive experience of Gian Luca Perris, the Perris
Monte Carlo brand expresses an idea of luxury based not on appearance, but on the quality of craftsmanship.
The passion for bringing back the true art of perfumery is the brainchild of the manifestation of the brand Perris Monte Carlo.
Founded in Milan in 1981, The Perris Group is headquartered in the Principality of Monaco and today operates in over 50 countries around the world. The Group specializes in promoting both premium and niche brands.
The Perris family has been dedicated to the beauty sector for half a century.
With passion and expertise, it creates a range of successful products, launching
and marketing them internationally. The real core of the company is, however,
perfume. A passion for which has been handed down, and taken new forms,
within the family.
"I first envisaged Perris Monte Carlo while I was traveling. Looking back, I don’t know where exactly I was. Perhaps in the Middle East, when I was searching for the essence of roses. Or maybe while I was walking through the lavender fields of Provence.
What really matters though is the reason behind that first idea. And the reason is simple. I realized that I had the privilege of experiencing the traditional world of perfumes, which is still very much alive today. That I had been able to learn from great masters. That by observing their work, I was privileged to be a direct heir to a wonderful tradition. And I didn’t want all this tradition to be lost.
Bringing the wonders of the culture of perfumes to today’s world – a world so often focused on the here and now – was a considerable endeavor. It was necessary to consider not only the essences themselves, but also how we can educate others about one’s sense of smell, so that everyone can appreciate them.
