Whether wearing at night or day, be prepared to be taken on a long rollercoaster ride of olfaction.
At night, it’s as enigmatic as a film noir from yesteryear, where a significant moment may be missed if you blink for a moment… as multiple characters and muses come and slowly shy away.
In the daytime one is more awake and thus fully committed to see (smell) all the beautiful characters, like watching an 18-24 hour Technicolor movie marathon.
The precious newly distilled night jasmine and powdery heliotrope would have been elegant in the composition as a whole, but we decided to add the antiquated civet, with its tamed fecal notes transformed into deep bellowing sweetness…..
then we took the composition to truly the next level of olfactive refinement…..the hidden characteristics of this incredibly multifaceted composition are brought to the limelight for the wearer to enjoy.
