Donna Born in Roma Intense
Vanilla, bergamot and blackcurrant open onto a jasmine closed by benzoin. A denser, more resinous reading of the line, where vanilla sits up top rather than in the base.
Opium
The spiced oriental that caused a scandal on release, name included. Spicy carnation, amber and patchouli: a power perfumery no longer dared.
