This perfume is pure elixir of gourmand, floral and sensuality. It’s between light and shadow, based on a simple receipt but with a sublime harmony. I used Orris root one of the most expensive ingredient combined with Patchouli, Jasmine Sambac and Orange bloosom. That gives a noble luxury and unique smell to the perfume. Moreover, to create the addictive gourmand note that every woman likes I used Cassis Praline and Vanilla.
