About

Queen of Life opens with a rush of sweet blackcurrant and juicy pear, quickly transitioning to a heart of delicate iris, jasmine, and orange blossom. The warmth builds in the dry-down, where creamy vanilla, addictive praline, and nutty almond mingle with an earthy patchouli and tonka bean, creating a rich, gourmand experience that leans heavily into sweetness.
