About

Opens with a boozy, spicy kick of gin and pink pepper, brightened by a dark, juicy black cherry. The heart reveals a seductive rose tangled with smoky tobacco and a hint of sweet honey, all grounded by earthy patchouli. As it settles, warm amber, creamy sandalwood, and soft vanilla emerge, wrapped in the mystical haze of frankincense and a cashmere caress.
