Ouverture
An amber the house calls comforting. Fig, magnolia and orange to open, a floral heart lifted by a touch of cinnamon, then a base of vanilla, incense and sandalwood.
Opium
The spiced oriental that caused a scandal on release, name included. Spicy carnation, amber and patchouli: a power perfumery no longer dared.
