The Only One

Violet and iris lay down a powdery, almost cosmetic texture that roasted coffee darkens instead of sweetening, before vanilla and patchouli close on a woody warmth. A powdery floral, not a dessert.

Black Opium

Black coffee and vanilla over a patchouli base. Addictive, nocturnal, the signature of a generation.
