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.
Athalia
A thread of incense runs through the bitter orange. Orange blossom then leans on a powdered iris, before amber, suede and vanilla soften everything underneath.
