Description
The story behind this fragrance
Talisman opens with a rush of ripe stone fruit—peach and litchi—spiced by hyacinth's green sharpness and stirred with rum's warm ferment, aldehydes catching the light like frost. Floral heart blooms dense: carnation and cyclamen anchor jasmine and rose, while freesia lifts the edges bright. As it settles, caramel and tonka bean meld into leather and amber, sandalwood drawing everything toward a creamy, resinous close touched by beeswax and vanilla. Sensual without heaviness, this is fragrance as a sustained warmth—fruit turning to honey, florals dissolving into skin-soft musk and cedar.
