Civet Chocolate - The Shoki Luwak Trip
By Kamadeva, son of Brahma! The Hindi Kaba was not for children. They got the substance directly from the stable. It smoked like calf fruit in earth alcohol and chocolate syrup, thick and dark. We had to think of Kopi Luwak. Leather-fermented cocoa beans from small Indian cat intestines. We began to hallucinate their paws and followed their Siam benzoin trails, the glowing propolis crystals, the fine threads of black vanilla in the earthy brew of labdanum. The stuff only smeared us into the grooves of the soft bark of a vintage coffee house somewhere in India after several hours.

Souhayl Attar founded the French label Miyaz in 2020 with the aim of combining French knowledge with Arab tradition. The house places value on high-quality raw materials.
"Hindi Cacao" was released in 2021 and combines four different Hindi ouds, including a 20-year-old vintage oud, with resins, vanilla, strong castoreum, and a gourmet cocoa extract. The top note begins slightly stable-smoky with aromas of earthy-alcoholic liqueur and dark, bitter cocoa syrup. Soon, in the almost black brew, birch-oily-leathery-animalic castoreum notes become perceptible alongside slightly medicinal-resinous benzoin aromas, before earthy labdanum brings forth dark-spicy fir honey, creating traces of propolis with the remaining resins. The vanilla shows its dark, unsweet facets and extends into the rather dry-woody, soft barks of the Indian ouds from the base. Overall, a very dense composition that skillfully balances the connection of bitter-sweet cocoa gourmand, leathery barnyard animality, deep-dark resins, and multifaceted woods, projecting its aroma distinctly to moderately and enduringly.
