Killing Beauty

Killing Beauty opens with bright citrus—lemon verbena and tangerine cutting through with petitgrain's green snap—before soft florals bloom: plum and wild strawberry darken the heart, while iris and lily-of-the-valley meet rose, freesia, and gardenia in an almost edible sweetness. The base unfolds slowly into warmth: caramel and honey soften oakmoss and vetiver, tonka and sandalwood build creamy depth, while myrrh, guaiac wood, and cedar add resinous earth. Ginger and patchouli thread through, tolu balsam adds sticky amber, and labdanum rounds the dry-down into a powdered, honeyed finish.
