Ao Ao - Birch, Tonya, Summer Fruits, Honey, Apple Cider

Deep from the dark South American jungles comes a Guaraní legend that will raise the hair on your beards! But never fear, those beard hairs will be well-conditioned, with Ao Ao: Turning Seasons.
The Ao Ao is the evil spawn borne of Kerana, granddaughter of Rupave and Sypave (the original humans according to the Guaranì creation myth), and Tau, the personification of evil in Guaranì mythology. Tau captured Kerana and forced her to give birth to his seven offspring. These offspring were cursed by the goddess Arasay and were born monsters. Ao Ao is often depicted as a carnivorous peccary (or wild hog) that preys upon humans. Once Ao Ao has selected his victim, nothing will prevent him from chasing down his prey, except for palm trees which have an unexplained power against him. Ao Ao’s brother, Jasey Jaetere, lord of the siesta, will also bring him children who rebel by not napping during siesta time as a snack.
Much like the relentless Ao Ao, times and seasons progress and as summer progresses into fall, we celebrate the coming of the fall season, while still holding onto all the things we enjoy from those warm summer days, and in that spirit we are excited to present this Turning Seasons profile. Take a walk through the South American jungles and enjoy the bright and tangy tones of tropical citrus. Take in the mellow and earthy notes of woods with the light allure of a floral breeze. Don’t linger too long though. Fall spices and autumnal woods crash through the profile like the charging Ao Ao, hungry for its prey. Try Ao Ao: Turning Seasons today
