About

Sweet Morphine opens with a bright, sweet burst of lilac, soon joined by a soft, almost candy-like mimosa. It quickly settles into a powdery heart of iris and rose, evoking a sense of refined elegance. The dry-down introduces a creamy vanilla, underpinned by earthy vetiver and a hint of patchouli, creating a delicate, almost ethereal finish. Think a luxurious body lotion, or a plush, floral cloud.
