Bleecker Street
A sweet woody set on oakmoss and suede, which pull it back toward chypre ground. A green, herbal opening and warm spice as the hinge: dense, built for cold months.
Black Orchid
Truffle, cacao and orchid over dark patchouli. The house's first perfume, and its most divisive: you either love it or find it suffocating.
