The story

The Nemean Lion, and the hero who faced it.

Clary sage and ginger open with a wild freshness, davana and rum adding boozy depth. Black tea, saffron, incense, cistus and oud build the regal middle. Castoreum, oakmoss, cocoa and caramel close it warm and animalic. Duchaufour at his most mythological.

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.
