The story behind
“I wanted to respond to this smell, which could be described as lazy and repetitive, with an invitation to rediscover another vanilla, an unusual, complex and paradoxical one. The fragrance of a strange flower, light as a trade wind, wafting under our noses with hints of spice, cognac and smoked wood, somewhere between petals and cigars, skin and cocoa.”
