How the picks are built
Black Opium (Eau de Parfum, 2014) smells like sweet coffee, creamy vanilla, warm floral, starting with orange blossom and pink pepper before vanilla, patchouli and cedar take over. Babycat (Parfum, 2022) reads as warm vanilla suede, smoky pepper and resin, opening on black pepper and elemi resin and drying down to vanilla, suede and cedarwood. Libre (Eau de Parfum, 2019) is described as fresh lavender and orange blossom, creamy vanilla; the opening brings neroli and mandarin orange, and the base settles on bourbon vanilla, musk and ambergris.
