Tambopata Province, Peru
Moena 12 | 69
A riot of plants sweating in the morning sun. The scent of young ginger sweeping through the green canopy. Brewed tea and fresh tobacco leaves. An oncoming thunderstorm and the purifying crispness that follows.

Details
Carta's premier offering, Moena 12|69, is the first ever fragrance to feature Moena Alcanfor, a rare essential oil steam-distilled from the lateral branches and leaves of Moena trees. The numbers correspond to the geographical coordinates from where the oil is sourced - the Tambopata Province of the Peruvian Amazon at 12° South, 69° West.
A close botanical relative to the highly endangered Rosewood (another Amazonian tree popular for fragrance), Moena Alcanfor is a new sustainable alternative. This oil is ushering in a promising future for the region’s delicate ecosystem. Its woodsy aroma ignites emotions, purifies and uplifts the spirit, and eases anxiety.
A portion of the proceeds from all Carta sales is returned to Camino Verde, the only organization in the world distilling Moena Alcanfor. Learn more about Camino Verde’s work to reforest the Peruvian Amazon HERE.

The constant hum of the boat’s motor drowns out conversation, so I write in my field notebook.

Sun-drenched fields of golden blossoms blanket bright coastal cliffs. A heady haze of wildflower honey and caramelized orange peels. Verdant hills traversed by vineyards and olive groves. The memory of the brilliant blue Adriatic.
