Croxatto Woman

Who I Am and Why

I am Ángeles Croxatto. In my family, perfumes have always been something extra special. As a child, I used to go with my mother to try perfumes, and we would spend hours talking and debating about which one we really needed to buy. Those were incredibly fun afternoons. Interestingly, this interest and experience are shared by all my siblings; we are three.

A few years ago, in 2018, my brother Andrés created a YouTube channel dedicated to perfumes: Andrés Perfume-Man. That is a story worth telling, but it’s not our focus here.

I thought it was so cool, and I identified so much with his approach to perfumes that I decided to create my own channel focused on women’s perfumes.

I decided to make only a few videos, but with a distinctive style, focusing exclusively on the perfumes I consider most valuable, my favorites, the most striking and charming.

It was impressive; the channel grew very quickly in a short time: today, with a little more than 60 published videos, Ángeles Parfum is the Spanish-speaking YouTube channel on women’s perfumes with the most subscribers.

It’s a project I truly enjoy. For me, the key has been to approach it with rigor and sincerity in my opinions, and I have seen how this has paid off—for my audience, who use my experience as a reference for deciding which perfumes to buy, and for me in popularity. And what can I say about the adventure of always trying new fragrances and searching for the most exquisite scent in the world!

Meanwhile, in 2021, my brother Andrés created the brand CROXATTO (our last name) and launched his own men's perfume:

• Perfume Andrés Croxatto Man
• Here are the sales figures from its launch
• This is the story of that perfume

Inspired by this success, I started working in 2022 on creating my own women’s perfume.

How I Did It

I proposed to my brother that he and I create The Ultimate Feminine Fragrance. As expected, he immediately joined the project. We began the search for this new, unique, unforgettable feminine essence.

KEY MILESTONES

• May 2022: I spoke with perfumer Chris Carbonnel, the creator of many of the world’s most important fragrances and a supplier of some of the highest-quality raw materials available.
• September 2022: I received his first proposals.
• October 2023: we continued evaluating the formulas.
• November 2023: production began for the new CROXATTO brand bottle, with a custom-designed mold.
• June 2024: Andrés and I finalized the fragrance, my vision of the ultimate women’s perfume.
• June 2024: Carbonnel was commissioned for essence production.
• August 2024: production of the new bottles was completed.
• September 2024: Andrés and I polished the final technical, legal, and logistical details to ensure a smooth sales and delivery process.

I thank my brother for his collaboration in so many aspects of the project. We have worked together on key decisions.

The Perfume

My perfume had to meet five characteristics: it had to be original, bold, exclusive, versatile, and sexy. And that’s how I made it.

My priority from the beginning was that the result achieved the quality I wanted, no matter how long it took. My purpose is simple: to create my favorite women’s perfume. Did I succeed? Well, I can say there are many perfumes I love, but none had ever captured my heart like this one. Today, it’s my luxury signature scent, and it could be yours, too.

The Scent

• Italian citrus: especially bergamot from Calabria, Italy, renowned for its vibrant, elegant quality.
• Tropical punch: constructed with notes of mango and apricot... Feminine, juicy, and striking. Pure magic.
• Coffee liqueur: adds an extra touch of sexy, enhancing its captivating allure.
• Bourbon vanilla: silky and radiant.
• Woods: guaiac and cedar, with pure character and strong personality, unapologetic. They add body and impact.
• Ambers and musks: feminine, persistent, and luminous.

WHEN TO WEAR IT

This perfume was made to be versatile; in my view, it’s a wildcard that bridges between perfumes for very special occasions and those for daily use. It’s neither purely one nor the other.

The way I use perfumes, a versatile one like this is essential and is the type I most enjoy: it is special in daily life as it gives you an extra sophisticated air compared to a daily-use perfume; and on special occasions, it gives you a more carefree vibe than a super elegant perfume.

LASTING POWER AND PROJECTION

Personally, I usually apply 2 or 3 sprays, which keeps the fragrance present for 8-10 hours. It has remarkable projection and outstanding intensity. If you want to wear it for an event that requires many hours of staying power, like a wedding, I recommend 4 sprays, no more is needed.

The NAME

Finally, after giving it much thought, the name of my perfume is: Croxatto Woman. For me, carrying my own last name is a personal seal of quality, without embellishments or complications.

THE BOTTLE

It was designed from scratch by my brother Andrés and me; it’s the brand’s symbolic bottle. Soon, the Oud perfume for men will be released, and it will use the same bottle. The inspiration and philosophy behind its design is a story I’ll leave for Andrés to tell if he wishes.

RAW MATERIALS
