An extraordinarily opulent oriental-fruity creation inspired by the luxurious silks, fine pearls, and exotic spices transported into 19th-century London via maritime Trade Routes. It opens with a vibrant, mouth-watering blend of blood orange, juicy peach, and pink pepper, sweeping into a romantic heart of dewberry and Bulgarian rose. The drydown is deeply addictive, enveloping the wearer in dark cocoa, rich patchouli, frankincense, and warm vanilla.
