Cacao in Ancient Mesoamerica

The Olmecs of southern Mexico were probably the first to ferment, roast and grind cacao, possibly by 1500 BC. No written record survives, but vessels show traces of theobromine. For the Maya, cacao was a sacred food and a marker of prestige.

A Drink for Rulers and a Form of Money

Early cacao drinks were bitter and rarely sweetened. Cooks flavored them with chili or vanilla. The Aztecs accepted cacao as tribute, and the beans served as currency. In the early 12th century, chocolate sealed the marriage of the Mixtec ruler 8 Deer.

Using and Storing Your Oil

Add a few drops of this chocolate fragrance oil to your own base. For a cake or cookies and cream blend, it provides a good foundation. A coffee fragrance oil note stays soft here rather than strong. Browse more scents in the Fragrance Oils collection or the full Museumize fragrance collection. Keep the cap tight and store the bottle upright, away from heat and direct sun.

Mesoamerican cooks paired cacao with vanilla long before Europeans tasted chocolate. A vanilla chocolate scent carries a little of that old partnership. Many makers choose a coffee fragrance oil for morning-themed sets. A dessert scent for soap suits a sweet gift box. A vanilla chocolate scent is a simple crowd pleaser.
