"Hiding a secret! There is nothing more natural because no one, not even science, will ever be able to dig into our minds and hearts. Even the truth machine is not infallible. Hidden and overwhelming truths hide imperturbably in our subco nscious and force us to manipulate reality to make it perfect for others.Behind the illusion of knowing others and exposing themselves through the images and words spent on social media there is clear evidence that what we write or what we read is the mirror of what we want to be and not of what we are really. Evil lurks in each of us and we hold it in check: envy, cowardice, contempt, hatred can lead us if exasperated to unimaginable and unmentionable acts.The secret will remain hidden in a casket within us and only comes out when we speak to our selves in front of a mirror: because we can not escape from ourselves alone. Unless a tempting devil does not free the secret from the chains." - a note from the brand.Perfumer is Christian CarbonnelTOP NOTES: Somali Frankincense & Schinus Pink Pepper Co2 Extract from Perú. MIDDLE NOTES: Incense Oman, Moroccan Cedar Atlas, Myrrh, Oriental & Indian Cypriol from Kampur. BASE NOTES: Vetyver Haití, Musk, Mexican Vanilla from Veracruz & North Australian Sandalwood

How It Wears
A Signature Fragrance

Vanilla
Vanilla is the scent of childhood memories and cozy nights by the fire. Derived from the cured pods of orchids native to Mexico, it has a rich sweetness that can range from creamy and milky in texture to deep and almost smoky. Its versatility makes it a staple in perfumery, capable of adapting its character to complement both light citrus notes and heavier woody accords.

Australian Sandalwood
Australian Sandalwood is harvested from the Santalum spicatum tree native to Western Australia. It offers a rich, woody aroma with subtle hints of nuttiness and a powdery finish that has made it a favored ingredient among perfumers for its grounding quality.

Haitian Vetiver
Haitian Vetiver is harvested from the roots of a tall grass native to India but cultivated widely across Haiti. Its scent is a profound blend of earth and wood, with subtle hints of smoke and a touch of sweetness that evokes the fertile soil it grows in. This note is not just about the smell; it's an experience of the lush, tropical landscapes where it thrives.
