"The slap of a wood bat on a leather ball, followed by intense giggling and the sound of fabric rustling. It’s five o’clock at Biba in London and Jim Morrison is leading a young Debbie Harry astray with a Long Island Iced tea, and a game of cricket in the stock room. Can you smell all the possibilities that curled into a trippy London afternoon in the Seventies? They certainly could." Top notes: Juniper, Basil, Cardamone, Bergamot. Heart: Blackcurrant Bud, Driftwood. Base notes: Vetiver, Yerba Maté, Cedarwood, Oriental Gris, Sandalwood. Available as a 100 ml Eau de Parfum.
