Beaute du Diable

Italian lemon and absinthe cut sharp and herbal at first, gin and coriander adding a gin-botanicals sting before bitter orange rounds the opening into something citrus-bright yet austere. Cypress and carnation emerge with a peppery edge, ylang-ylang's creamy weight settling against geranium's green snap and clove's dry warmth. By the drydown, guaiac wood's smoky resin and haitian vetiver's earthy root anchor the composition, while labdanum's amber undertow thickens—Beaute du Diable fades to dry wood, stone dust, and a faint licorice shadow on skin.
