About

Opens with a potent, almost gothic gardenia, brightened by a hint of orange, then descends into a sensuous heart of creamy tuberose, sweet honey, and juicy plum. A deep, warm dry-down of beeswax, labdanum, and incense casts an opulent, slightly animalic shadow, completing this rich, dark floral masterpiece.
