Intense Cherry

Ripe, candied cherry takes over immediately, barely cut by lemon and bergamot. Licorice in the heart lends it an aniseed twist that vanilla, cedar and sandalwood eventually settle.

Black Orchid

Truffle, cacao and orchid over dark patchouli. The house's first perfume, and its most divisive: you either love it or find it suffocating.
