Description
The story behind this fragrance
Cloves and pimento ignite first—warm spice that crackles across skin with a peppery bite. Within moments, green leaves temper the heat into something fresher, almost herbal, while iris adds a powdery, slightly mineral undertone that keeps the opening from becoming purely culinary. As the intensity softens, mignonette emerges with a subtle, almost violet-tinged sweetness, grounding everything into a woody drydown where Brazilian redwood and precious woods settle into a warm, resinous finish that lingers close to the body.
