Emotional Drop reads as cool berries and violet leaves over creamy florals, with gooseberry, violet leaves and neroli at the start and vetiver, balsam fir and sandalwood at the end.
Smoky incense and spicy resin on pine and bergamot make up Free, which opens with bergamot, clove and black pepper and rests on frankincense, labdanum and patchouli.
