Tubéreuse Impériale
A sunny Indian tuberose backed by ylang-ylang, jasmine and iris over incense, vanilla and sandalwood. Creamy and full-bodied, it asks for an evening rather than a desk.
Samsara
An overdose of Mysore sandalwood held up by jasmine and iris. The perfume was built around the material, not the other way round.
