Delphinus
Resinous incense opens over pink pepper, then orris and heliotrope powder an orchid heart. Patchouli, tonka bean and leather close on a warm amber trail that lingers.
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.
