Overture Woman
Rose, geranium and cinnamon are set against benzoin and myrrh at the heart. Bergamot and pear open the composition, which closes on frankincense, labdanum and leather.
Shalimar L'Essence
Bergamot and almond open onto an incensed iris, before a base of opoponax, benzoin and leather. A darker, more resinous reading of the original line.
