How it moves

The first breath is truffle, gardenia, black currant, ylang-ylang and bergamot, and it is loud about it. Then the heart turns up — orchid, spices, lotus and fruity notes — and the whole thing slows down. By evening it is patchouli, vanilla, incense, dark chocolate and sandalwood, and it is better for it.
