About

Opening with a juicy burst of mandarin and freesia, Tumulte quickly settles into a rich, powdery floral heart of iris and heliotrope, underpinned by a dominant jammy rose. The drydown provides a deep, sensual grounding with musk, tonka bean, and a dirty-sweet patchouli, creating a complex and somewhat boozy rose oriental.
