She often talks about every raw material having its own colour and sometimes using overdoses of certain notes to give a formula a strong personality. Her portfolio includes rich, woody-oud compositions like Fragrance Du Bois Oud Violet Intense and luminous, watery florals such as Barbour Coastal for Her.
