Coqui Coqui Perfumes

Legend has it that during the colonization of the New World, Franciscan monks from Spain together with the Mayans on the Yucatan Peninsula, gathered tropical flowers, spices, woods and exotic herbs and sent them back to Spain for Queen Isabel.

So many spices were found that the Monks created a catolog giving rise to the most original eau de cologne, emulsion and lotion formulas as well as the famous perfumes prepared with a mixture of the essential oils of the Yucatan flora.

For almost 300 years these prized products perfumed the Great Spanish Empire. When the 1847 Caste War began in Valladolid the typical perfume of this area was lost.

Fast forward 160 years. Nicolas Malleville, a contemporary Argentinean landscape architect and perfumer, while doing research in London and Paris libraries, discovered the history of these Yucatecan flora and scents. Captivated by the stories and legends of the antique perfumes, perfumer Nicolas bought a plane ticket to the Yucatan and set out to rescue and recreate the scents and aromas so savored by the Spanish royalty. His years of research took him to the Yucatan and Valladolid to be specific, where he set up his laboratory and set about recreating the ancient aromas.

In Coqui Coqui, his perfumery and small lab in Valladolid, he uses the raw materials the Spanish monks once used to recreate the distinct aromas the Monks created.

These raw materials include chamomile, vanilla, lemon, lavender, aloe, mint, coconut, agave, tropical woods, eucalyptus, orange, citronella, cacao, and jasmine.
Stop by Coqui Coqui on the Calazada de Frailes street to check out, try on and

savor the different eau de perfumes, eau de colognes, linen sprays, Mayan clays, butter emulsions, hand and body lotions, massage essential oils, bath oils, face creams, bath foams and scented candles, that he has created. All Coqui Coqui products are made from natural essential oils from the Yucatan.

From the perfume business sprouted two well-being related businesses- guesthouse residences and spas. The seven-room residence/spa on the beach in Tulum and the two-room residence/spa in Valladolid radiate the well-being, peace and tranquillity associated with the scents produced by Coqui Coqui. Scents in Tulum are beach related through the coconut scent, while in the Vallodolid residences you will find the more earthy agave and plumeria aromas. The future residence/guesthouse in the jungle of Coba will feature vanilla and aloe.
