Set against the mountainous coasts of Eastern Mexico, the tale of Estrella de la Mañana, the Morning Star, unfolds—a beauty so captivating that even the gods took notice. As she ran through the plains of Veracruz, her gaze met that of the Deer Prince, and in that fleeting moment, the magic of love was set in motion. But their love was not to last. Enraged, King Tenitzi III vowed to end their romance, and in a divine sacrifice, their souls were bound to the earth forever.
From their final embrace sprouted a small shrub, its branches twisting together like lovers in their last dance. Star-shaped flowers blossomed, and soon after, the first strands of black vanilla swayed in the wind, carrying with them the whispers of their love.
Estrella de la Mañana captures the smoky essence of burning vanilla pods and cocoa, marrying the warmth of Vanilla with the earthy intensity of Birch and Benzoin Tears. It’s a fragrance that tells the story of passion, loss, and eternal love, where the richness of vanilla blends with the ruggedness of the wild landscape, creating a scent as timeless as the lovers themselves.
