About This Perfume

Top notes are Gin, Lemon Verbena, Juniper, Pink Pepper and Guatemalan Cardamom; middle notes are Clary Sage, Coriander and Black Pepper; base notes are Patchouli, elemi and Virginia Cedar. A steamy summer night. Moon is overly white; it almost looks blue. The summer grass sagged from the scorching heat, diffusing a thick, dense scent. The creek is away from the road. Water is still cold regardless of the weather. Even more so at night. He took off his clothes, threw them into the bushes, and jumped into the water. Feeling a thrilling pleasure from the icy water, he calls her out. “Come in.” I could see his wet, white skin under the moonlight. Perfumer: Honorine Blanc HEAD - London Dry Gin, Juniper, Guatemala Cardamom, Brazilian Pink Peppercorn, Lemon Verbena HEART - Indian Coriander, Madagascar Black Pepper, Clary Sage BASE - Virginia Cedar, Elemi Philippines, Indonesian Patchouli
