About

Cicuta opens with a bright burst of citrus - zesty clementine and juicy orange - that dances around a lush, decadent Bulgarian rose at its heart. As this delicate floral note unfolds, it intertwines with hints of coriander, creating intrigue. The fragrance settles into a rich base of warm vanilla, amber, and subtle birch, leaving a sweet, musky trail that lingers beautifully. The overall effect is both elegant and inviting, perfect for those who want to embrace their sensual side.
