A sultry floral aphrodisiac perfume oil created with conscientiously wild-foraged black damiana grown at high altitudes in the Sierra de la Laguna in Baja, Mexico. The higher elevation creates a scent that is lighter and more floral and our oil is hand distilled locally in El Sargento using the leaves and twigs of the plant. The scent of Rapture is at first deep and slightly sweet – out front are the notes of jasmine, rose, mandarin, and fresh, young violet. The lushness intensifies on the body and becomes toned and more round with earthy notes of damiana, pink pepper, sandalwood, and Balinese vanilla bean. An ode to 'cat night' prowling and nocturnal revelry, Rapture In Shadow is a collector’s edition in an onyx black glass vanity bottle with a hand finished solid recycled sterling silver dabber.

Rapture in Shadow
Rapture In Shadow is handmade in small batches using naturally aphrodisiac ingredients. Damiana, a wild shrub with yellow flowers and fragrant leaves, has been used for hundreds of years to increase arousal, even as early as 500 years ago when Mexican Indigenous people made an aphrodisiac tea with damiana and sugar. The theory is that the herb promotes circulation to the female sex organs, increasing sensitivity and arousal. Jasmine is known as “the perfume of love” and is thought to be one of the strongest of the natural sexual stimulants because it is said to mimic animal musk. Rose contains phenylethylamine, the same chemical produced by the brain when you're falling in love, and can help to reduce anxiety and calm negative emotions, clearing the way for more focused arousal.
