Metztli is an elegant vanilla gourmand with sheer musk. The ethereal Aztec goddess of the moon is an expert weaver who clothes herself in stardust. It features vanilla absolutes from Tahiti and Madagascar with plumes of gossamer musk, soft lunar silk, pale velvety amber, white chocolate and a drop of sugar. Metztli is an eau de parfum, edp.
Arcana Wildcraft perfumes are indie, small batch handmade.
Reddit: "So, so, so good! It's priced higher than any other Arcana oil, with the explanation: "For Metztli, we used natural vanilla absolutes, materials which can be somewhat extravagant for indie perfume, but they are more than worth their cost." It's not super thick or gourmand, but a light and airy vanilla scent, with a powdered sugar and silken aura and also a second sort of vanilla too in the background, a golden, ever-so-slightly oaky, rich bourbon vanilla. Metztli is really just vanilla…but what a vanilla! (Honestly I feel like this is what we were all hoping for with Fionnar.) It's a little bit like Estella [Ambre blanc, vanilla bean and cognac], too, with its harmonious combination of white and warm golden notes, and it has a similar sort of intoxicating effect as Lorelei Vanille Blanche, though less honeyed. It lasts FOREVER, and when I wanted a refresh since it was STILL hanging around late in the evening, I found to my delight that Metztli layers beautifully with Moth-Like Stars."
Arcana Wildcraft: "This turns into such a light, airy vanilla on my skin. It would fit in with warmer weather, and the white amber lifts it up and prevents it from being too sweet. Tempted to get a backup bottle."
Arcana Wildcraft: "This is everything I have been looking for as far as a “good, solid, go-to” vanilla. It’s vanilla and more! And just gourmand enough when wet, but dries down so light and airy and stays with you. I might go so far as to say my favorite Arcana to date… but don’t tell Coven! LOL."
Arcana Wildcraft: "The One! This is the perfume I want with me in every memory because it is pure, exquisite, ethereal goodness!!! Incredibly high quality and true to its description, this is truly, insanely beautiful."
