Marfa
Tuberose handled as cream rather than heady flower: orange blossom takes the fleshiness out, vanilla rounds it onto a pale musky wood. Milky and luminous rather than opulent.
Velvet Orchid
Bergamot and mandarin open a dense bouquet of rose, jasmine, magnolia and orange blossom, lifted by honey and rum, over suede, labdanum and vanilla. An opulent floral amber with broad, tenacious sillage.
