black cherry · saffron · pink pepper

Carmina opens on black cherry, saffron and pink pepper. The heart unfolds in may rose and peony, then softens into violet and cashmere wood. The base of musk, ambroxan and frankincense stays warm and close to the skin. Wear it in autumn or winter, when the cold calls for denser textures.
