The third fragrance of the collection is introduced in April 2008. It is composed as chypre aldehyde with animalic dose."She is not only this edgy lady, nor the most glamourous, or the most intimidating, she is all that, at the same time, a Beauty on her own. Impossible to describe...and that's exactly why she's so fascinating. Her perfume is a mysterious and addictive Aldehic Chypre, at the crossroads of modern and classic perfumery. Romeo...be warned ! Juliette is back, more uncatchable than ever."The design continues the modern romantic saga on Shakespeare’s rebel, and the bottle is colored milky-white and with silver top. The motif of roses is unavoidable decoration on the bottle. This time the outer box is black with black bow on the top. It is available as 50ml (1.7 fl.oz.) and 100ml (3.4 fl.oz.) EDP.

He has revealed their fierce strength, veracity and raw beauty making each an emblem of our natural Earth, undisturbed by human interference... Plants, Minerals and AnimalsA symbol of wealth and prosperity, Petroleum is an unexpected essence, once referred to as ‘Black Gold’, it is rich, dark and mysterious…a miraculous gift from the depths of our Earth. In all of its precious form Oudh is effortlessly felt throughout the fragrance. Woven with Bergamot and Orange its fresh top notes unfold, assertively layered with woody and resinous power. Ozonic floralcy lives at the heart as a mystical rose unveils warmed ambered stones. An eccentric chypre character exhales narcotic fumes with an intense signature of leather wrapped in lucid white musk… It is a potion, a rare elixir that will lead to exalted ecstasy and pure euphoria.
