Much like its sister collection, Enchanted, Prima Materia was absolutely gorgeous inside and out. This was a celebration of Earth and the material and ingredients that come from it naturally.

Prima Materia came in the shallow hat box style packaging, as well. Except, instead of a repeating pattern on top, it was an illustrated scene – a glowy, moonlit lakeside, with various flora and fauna in the foreground, and mountains, reflective blue-green water, and a bright, full moon with spotty cloud cover in the distance. The circular edge of the box had a repeating pattern of a moon lit up as a crescent, some greenery, and what look like some deep pink to red lotus blossoms. At the bottom, text. “Prima Materia. The First Matter.” And on and on it goes.

Inside the box, which also opened to dramatic effect, was a circular disc, which, on one side, had another illustration of Earthly beings, trees, mountains, and waterfalls, the sun, and the moon, as well as additional celestial objects. There are a lot of deep eggplant purple and evergreen hues, primarily. On the other side of the disc, was a map of the bon bons, to explain to you what flavor you were selecting. Like in Enchanted, there was a beautiful eggplant purple booklet, describing the collection and the flavors within.

Underneath the disc and booklet, the tray of chocolates was a sight to behold. The bon bons were jewel-toned – peridot, sapphire, garnet, amethyst, pearl white, shimmery gold… so bright and beautiful, it was a difficult decision to eat them! In the middle of the tray was a coiled scroll. When unraveled, the scroll revealed a challenge by Vosges, an invitation to have a full tasting experience with these Prima Materia chocolates. To set intentions, to pay attention to the flavors and sensations in your mouth when eating one of the bon bons. Prima Materia was absolutely an experience to remember.
