He who offers
roses tonight
arouses moonlight
Jaguar transformed
into cacao
Silkworm metamorphosed
into gold thread
Flowers blossoming
into honey and perfume
My quest for the
philosopher’s stone
Jaguar transformed into cacao
The jaguar has been my guiding light in the cacao world.
I wish to give back power and finesse, opulence and elegance, to cacao and rescue it from its dark age.
I redefined rules in cacao selection, fermentation, processing and tasting.
Silkworm metamorphosed into gold thread
My first travels in life were towards the East with its fabulous silk.
I was captivated by the wild muga, the mother of all silks– which resembles spun gold.
From muga, I began my journey in fashion. It represents a symbol of bravery, purity and exclusivity.
Flowers blossoming into honey and perfume
Fragrance has been my eye throughout my travels and my memories.
Flowers deliver the magic of my quest: glitter and simplicity, purity and power. Fragrance and honey are the two sides of the same coin. I keep making natural perfumes and selecting honey from everywhere.
My quest for the philosopher’s stone
Searching for talent in food and wine, I developed my personal taste and cosmos.
I believe in water as the tool for expressing the potential of ingredients.
