The mixture is enriched with chili peppers, and the air is filled with the aroma of exotic spices. The secrets of the nuns, kept in this closed world for centuries, have finally been revealed.
- Among the most popular recipes of the monastery was hot chocolate combined with jasmine extract, cinnamon, vanilla, and Mexican chili peppers.

About the brand Arquiste
Fragrances that evoke (or even transport) important or simply interesting moments in world history. An example? When smelling Anima Dulcis, we are transported to the refectory of the Royal Monastery of Mary Jesus in 17th century Mexico. A group of nuns prepares spicy cocoa here according to a baroque recipe enriched with chili peppers, jasmine extract, cinnamon, and sweet vanilla. Meanwhile, Sydney Rock Pool is like surfing on the Australian coast in the 1970s - it contains warm sun-kissed notes of minerals, sea salt, coconut, and woody scents. Just close your eyes and you can completely forget yourself.
Reviews of Anima Dulcis
The cocoa is wonderfully bitter, almost burnt, the vanilla pure, corporeal and sensual like intimate areas the day after waxing, cinnamon and chili sizzle, and the depth note is a passionate, healthy, sweaty humanity in the pastry shop.
