Velorum Assoluto

How it moves

Mandarin orange, ginger, saffron, black pepper, rose and cardamom hit first, the way an opening line should. Then the heart turns up — passionfruit, almond, tea, lotus, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves — and the whole thing slows down. What is left hours later is white chocolate, musk, vanilla, guaiac wood, sandalwood, tonka bean and amber, and that is the part people follow you for.
