The story

A rose released from the female universe.

Saffron opens dry and sublime alongside guaiac, labdanum and clove. Then rose arrives — powerful rather than pretty, held up by geranium and ylang-ylang. The base is enormous: oud, leather, castoreum, cypriol and birch over amber and sandalwood. Written in 2011 and shelved until the house was ready for it.

How it wears

Top notes greet you, the heart settles in over the first hour, and the base is what stays on skin at the end of the evening.
