Coco Noir
Grapefruit and orange open onto a heart of jasmine, rose and geranium, over patchouli, vanilla, sandalwood and incense. The incense darkens the floral, setting it apart from sweet ambers.
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.
