Composition & Character
How It Wears
A Signature Fragrance
Turkish Rose
Hailing from the fertile lands of Turkey, Turkish Rose is renowned for its rich, velvety aroma. Unlike the delicate freshness of Bulgarian roses, this variety boasts a more robust scent with notes of honeyed sweetness and earthy undertones, making it ideal for perfumery's deeper expressions.
Chocolate
Chocolate in perfumery evokes the deep, velvety richness of dark chocolate, with notes of sweetness and a hint of bitterness. It comes from natural or synthetic sources, capturing the essence of cocoa beans and their transformation into aromatic compounds that speak to our senses.
Lavender
Lavender, with its distinctive floral and herbal aroma, originates from the fragrant fields of Provence. Its scent is both calming and invigorating, a versatile note that can evoke images of sunlit meadows or tranquil gardens. This duality makes it a staple in perfumery, where it’s celebrated for its ability to balance and harmonize.

Chocolate Rose Cedar Leather
Appalachian Prayer's chocolate, Turkish rose, and smoky vanilla meets Bois Mystérieux's cedar, leather, and myrrh, and since smoke and warm spice run through both, the gourmand rose gets pulled toward something drier and more resinous rather than staying purely sweet.
Spray Bois Mystérieux first for the leather-cedar base, then layer Appalachian Prayer over it so the chocolate and rose add sweetness to the dry woods.
